Lagertha’s arrival is particularly special as her mum, Masaya, had to have a complicated operation for a foot injury just months before she gave birth.
Luckily, her surgery was a success and keepers at the zoo say she’s been looking after Lagertha “magnificently”.
“Masaya is very important – not just to her family, but to her whole species. There are only a few breeding females in zoos in Europe,” zookeeper Zoe Edwards explained.
She added that little Lagertha, who was named after a Viking queen, is “already curious” about her habitat and “inquisitive” about humans.
