The House of the Sea in Vienna-Mariahilf provided information about new arrivals on Wednesday. These include Nui-Chua stick insects and a Bavarian short-eared mouse. "Both species are considered highly endangered," the zoo stated in a press release.

Director Jeff Schreiner said: "We see ourselves as Noah's Ark in the former flak tower – a living memorial and beacon of hope at the same time. Every species we can preserve is a piece of diversity that we safeguard and at the same time a small building block of a healthy ecosystem. That is why species conservation is so close to our hearts." The stick insects were previously housed at the Cologne Zoo, and the short-eared mouse female at the Innsbruck Zoo.
