    Binturong Triplets

    First birth for Zoo Atlanta:


    Binturongs born at Zoo Atlanta

    The newborns are the first offspring of Bramble and father Baloo and the first binturongs to be born at Zoo Atlanta.

    First-time mom Bramble did not initially accept her offspring; however, two of the three have since successfully joined their mother and are nursing normally. It is hoped that the third bintlet will be able to join his mother and siblings in coming weeks.
