Birth of Himalayan Black Bear Cubs at Bali safari park spotlights commitment to wildlife conservation
October 4, 2023

The Amazing Taman Safari Bali has announced the successful birth of two Himalayan black bear cubs in August 2023 with the remarkable achievement being a testament to the park's unwavering commitment to wildlife conservation. Notably, The Amazing Taman Safari Bali stands as Indonesia's sole safari park to achieve breeding success with Himalayan black bears.

A Miracle of Nature
The journey began with Lili, the female Himalayan black bear, embarking on a remarkable pregnancy lasting 243 to 245 days. Her patience and resilience led to the safe delivery of two bear cubs, affectionately named Liu and Liam. These births signify not only a moment of pure natural wonder but also the critical role that conservation efforts play in preserving the rich biodiversity of our planet.

Commitment to Conservation
Dr. Kadek Kesuma Atmaja, the dedicated Animal Curator at The Amazing Taman Safari Bali, noted "The successful breeding of Himalayan black bears is a testament to our unwavering commitment to wildlife conservation. It reflects the tireless efforts of our devoted animal caretakers, skilled veterinarians, and our entire team."

This achievement underscores the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats. Himalayan black bears, native to the rugged terrains of South Asia, face numerous challenges, including habitat loss and poaching. The successful breeding at The Amazing Taman Safari Bali serves as a beacon of hope for the preservation of this remarkable species.

Ensuring a Bright Future
The journey has just begun for Liu and Liam. Under the careful watch of the park’s veterinary and wildlife care team, they are receiving intensive medical and wildlife care. Every detail, from their health to their nutritional needs, is meticulously attended to, ensuring they have the best start in life.

The Amazing Taman Safari Bali extends an invitation for the public to be part of this heartwarming journey and contribute to the conservation of these remarkable species.
