Instead of being sad about the passing summer, the Bratislava Zoo offers a great reason to be happy: they have a baby llama. The little female, named Stella, was born on Wednesday, and you can already see her in the enclosure with her mother.
This event happened in early autumn 2026, bringing a fresh breath to the life of the zoo and its visitors. The mother and baby are doing well, and their appearance is a great reason to visit the zoo and meet the charming Stella.
What is known about the llama Stella and her parents?
Llamas (Lama glama) are animals known for their calm nature and long necks. They are part of the Bratislava Zoo collection, which actively works on preserving various animal species. The birth of Stella is an important event for the zoo, as it helps with the reproduction and conservation of this species.
Planning a visit to the zoo?
The Bratislava Zoo is open daily, including weekends and holidays, so you can visit at any convenient time. In autumn, the zoo operates from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last entry allowed at 5:00 PM. This allows you to enjoy a walk and see all the residents, including the new llama, before closing.
Besides watching the animals, the zoo offers the chance to feed some animals in the "Farmyard" (Gazdovský Dvor - Slovak for Farmyard), where traditional farm animals like sheep and goats live. You can also use safari buses to reach the remote parts of the zoo.
The zoo is located at Mlynská dolina 1A, 842 27 Bratislava. More details about prices and tickets can be found on the official zoo website ZOO Bratislava.
