My largest female motoro gave birth to 3.1 pups between 8 and 10 this morning. (Sometime between my morning check/feeding and when I got back to the building they are being held in while their display is being finished.)
I'll try and get some good pics of them. One has a bite on the tail from one of the pacu the parents are in with. I've pulled them from the main holding and put them in a 75 for now.
I think it's more fun to watch the other employees here than the pups. This is a huge first for this zoo, but it puts me into the range of around 1,100 pups.
