A brood of Abdim's storks, “red duck” chicks and a blesbok among the new chicks born these days.
Furthermore, spring is always a good news for the preservation of the planet's biodiversity and BIOPARC becomes a participant with the arrival of new offspring of threatened species. For a few days now in the area that recreates the African Savannah we can see a baby of blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi). This species, included in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) red list with minor concern and in one of the 40 species preservation programs in which BIOPARC Valencia participates, is one of the antelopes that we can see coexisting in a multispecies enclosure with giraffes, jabirús, kobos, impalas and Thomson gazelles. We can identify the blesbok by the white color of their faces that contrasts strongly with the reddish brown of their bodies and by their long, curved, lyre-shaped horns. The newborn is beige in color, which distinguishes it from adults.
Another species in the same threatened situation as the blesbok and also included in a preservation program is the Abdim's stork (Ciconia abdimii) that has laid a nest on the top of the rocks in the aviary. It is an intra-African migratory bird that feeds on insects. They usually lay two to three eggs and the chicks begin to fly two months after hatching.
And not far away, in the estuaries of the savanna, we saw several ducklings following their mother. In this case the species is red duck (Net rufina). A duck halfway between diving and surface ducks. It is characterized by its large size and the spectacular nuptial pattern of the male that contrasts with the adult female, which has extremely discreet plumage. It is a bird with rather vegetarian tendencies and has severely suffered from the disappearance or alteration of some of the best wetlands.
