Today, the tiger cubs born just over eight weeks ago were seen by the public for the very first time. During a short health check, they were briefly taken out and handled so that they could receive their first vaccinations. There is one female and one male cub, weighing 8.4 and 9.2 kilograms respectively.
Dr. Endre Sós has been appointed as the new Director General of our Zoo. A veterinarian by training, he has worked at our institution for 30 years and is internationally recognized for his expertise in wildlife conservation and zoo and wildlife medicine. Since 2023, in the absence of an officially appointed director, he has been leading the Zoo as acting director.
The Butterfly Garden is one of our seasonal attractions, usually open from late spring or early summer until the middle of autumn. This year, the butterfly season starts on Friday, May 23. The exhibition space is designed so that visitors can walk among the colorful tropical butterflies. Currently, over 600 individuals of 22 different species can be seen.
Throughout June, Przewalski’s horses will be transported from the Hortobágy National Park to Kazakhstan. This is part of an international cooperation program involving multiple organizations, aimed at reintroducing these wild horses to the Kazakh steppes, from where they disappeared in the 19th century.
