WATCH: Birth of five cheetah cubs at Cape ranch is a Christmas delight Three animal families at the Cango Wildlife Ranch in Oudtshoorn have welcomed new life into the world, and the team couldn’t be happier.
Cape Town - Nothing brings joy like the pitter-patter of new life, which is exactly what the Cango Wildlife Ranch family has been spoilt with this summer. Three animal families have welcomed new life into the world, and the team couldn’t be happier.
The first celebration came when one of the ranch's beloved female Flying Fox showed signs of being in labour during an early morning routine check by their animal care team. The species is classified as near-threatened and therefore a birth is always worth celebrating. Natural birthing for these magnificent bats includes the labouring mother hanging upside down, elevated 3 metres in the air.
Upon closer inspection they noticed a tiny baby bat’s head was visible but was stuck from the chest down. They were both clearly struggling but hope sparked when the baby’s head moved followed by a few blinks and a yawn.
