Spring is in the air in San Diego as a host of new animal babies make
their
debut! Come celebrate spring with
these newborn critters at these world-renowned parks. The San Diego Zoo’s new
additions include a pair of sun bear cubs, a Western lowland gorilla, an
anteater, and koala joey. The Wild Animal
Park now proudly exhibits
a newborn elephant calf, tiger cub, cheetah cub, and Indian rhinoceros calf. SeaWorld recently created a splash with their new
dolphin calf and 30 penguin chicks that have been born since November. Come see
these adorable newborns before they grow up!
For even more springtime fun, experience the Wild Animal
Park’s Butterfly Jungle
running
from April 4-26, 2009. Wander
through the Hidden Jungle where countless butterfly species will glide through
the air and possibly stop for a rest on your shoulder, creating an unbeatable
photo-op. This month long celebration also features daily butterfly releases,
keeper talks, and even a “Butterfly Wrangler.”
During this time themed arts and crafts activities and shows will be
held daily that center on these fluttery favorites. Plus, children can showcase
butterfly wings, bug costumes, or their best “bug” hat as they parade through Nairobi Village.
