Moscow (Russia), Feb 19 (TV BRICS/ ANI): Sheep ma's firstborn is perhaps Moscow's most famous lamb. The black baby was born with a white mark on her forehead. She was born right on Christmas day, 7th January. The lamb is just over a month old and she's already establishing her own order in the herd. Subscribers will choose a name for the farm's Christmas miracle. One of the most obvious is Zvezdochka (little star). The baby is now growing and gaining weight. For now, the sheep's menu consists only of her mother's milk. Adult Himalayan bears have a more substantial diet - cucumbers, oranges, cheese, meat and fish. The seven-year-old Vasya is considered small for his species, weighing around 100 kilos. He is one of three bears for which the Moscow zoo has become a sanctuary. He arrives with a one-year-old bear, Fanya, and an adult bear Babulya. They were rescued from poachers and nursed. In the Moscow zoo the living conditions are very close to the natural conditions. To ensure the zoo residents don't get bored, they wrap food in paper and cover it with branches, thus encouraging predators to move around more. By the summer the new pets are expected to fatten up to 200 kilos. Next year the animals will be put into hibernation. Shkoda had slept in the den for almost a month, but Zabava only lasted 2 days. Now the cubs put on weight and, like all children, can fight about who gets more treats.
