Comments / pictures

For a picture see: http://www.mijnzoo.nl/news/851/ (its a forum that is co-founded by Blijdorp and a national Dutch newspaper and supported by the other zoos). The forum Mijnzoo received the rights for the naming contest (which is quite unusual for Emmen). The name of the newborn is Ein She Min (His full name will be Ein She Min Nayone, but will only be recorded in the books of Emmen Zoo). This is Burmese for Spring Prince.
