    This Sundag morning a Baltic/ringed seal is born at Burgers Zoo it is possible the first time such an animal has been born in captivity. The sex of the animal is as of yet unknown. It is not an "pure" animal since Burgers keep 1-0 Pusa hispida hispida and 0-1 Pusa hispida botnica together. The link below contains a article in dutch and a picture of the animal.
