A female Sulawesi bear cuscus ( Ailurops ursinus ) has given birth to a babe   at Wroclaw Zoo in southeasterly Poland . This is the very first one to be yield in incarceration , and it ’s say to be flourish .

Even more adorably , the arriver was entirely unexpected . Staff only found out the baby survive when they comment movements in the mother ’s pouch weeks – possibly months – after the nativity .

" It must have been a couple of weeks , or even months , after it was assume that we comment something moving inside the female person ’s pocket and then , a tail popped out ! " director of the menagerie , Radoslaw Ratajszczak , told theAFPvia telephone set .

But it generate cuter still . Staff say the sister was in all likelihood born six months ago , at which point it was probably only the size of a lowly attic . Like all marsupials , the Sulawesi bear cuscus render birth to an developing infant , which is little more than a fetus .   After exiting the female parent ’s birth canal , the infant drags itself to the pouch where it quell for eight months or so until it is developed enough to survive outside the female parent ’s torso .

When fully grow , it is expected to gain 61 centimeters ( 24 inch ) from snout to tail and weigh between 7 and 10 kilograms ( 15 and 22 pound sterling ) . It has a heavyset , dark ( bear - like ) coat   – hence its name , despite the fact that it is not a bear at all – and a rump as long as its body .

The new addition brings the total act of   Sulawesi stick out cuscuses in Europe to six , three of which can be found   at Wroclaw Zoo .

In its natural habitat , the   Sulawesi bear cuscus can be found clambering through the upper canopies of the tropical rainforests of   Sulawesi , an Indonesian island off the east coast of Borneo . They usually hang in mathematical group of two , three , or four and spend their meter munching on leave-taking . Sadly , this   procedure stimulate them easy to make out and sit down targets for hunters , who kill them for their inwardness .

All this hunt ( in addition to deforestation ) threaten the existence of the species , which is listed as   “ vulnerable ” on theIUCN Red List .

As for the baby , it is still waiting to be nominate . stave at the zoo have not yet had the opportunity to get a beneficial tone   – or even determine out if it is a boy or a girl .
