Some unusual animals have come into the world in Canterbury recently. New arrivals at Orana Park are two wolf cubs, born there about three weeks ago. Nushka and Emme, (left) with the park’s head keeper, June Mayor, are the first second-generation Great Plains wolves to be born at the park and are among about 100 in the world, all of which are in captivity. The cubs were born on October 20 to Simba, fathered by Keno. The Willowbank Wildlife Reserve has also welcomed some new animals recently. Two otters (centre) were born there two months ago, but reserve staff have not been able to get close to them because of a very protective father. On Wednesday a Capuchin monkey, Cappi, aged seven, gave birth to her third baby (right).
