Animals are predicted to be a favorite visitors was a Puma Jaguarundi, named Frank, who comes from the Tiergarten Delitzsch in East Germany. Puma Jaguarundi is derived from North and South America.
Previously, animal type opossum named Heidi, who is also cross-eyed, had become a favorite at the Leipzig Zoo. But the keeper Frank believes, Frank was born with crossed eyes, unlike Heidi who squint because of poor diet when young.
"I think people will visit (the zoo) to see Frank. They will stand in front of the fence and called out her name. I can hear it from my office, "said Head Zoo, Katrin Ernst as reported by Reuters on Thursday (17/02/2011).
Heidi, aged 2.5 years is a star in Germany. It began when his picture appeared in the newspaper Bild last December. Fans on the Facebook social networking, has reached 300,000 fans. Heidi also recruited Hollywood to predict the winners of the Academy Awards on February 27, on television United States.
Frank is also predicted to be a celebrity. Moreover Bild already contains photos and articles about him, last week. But until now, the zoo Delitzsch have not received an offer from Hollywood or support.
"We're waiting to see what would happen. If someone asks and might want to make a little jaguarundis chocolate or something similar, then we would not be interested, "he explained.
However, Frank is probably not a natural entertainer, such as previous animal celebrity, Knut the polar bear or Paul the octopus, which during the 2010 World Cup, appeared before the media and broadcast live on television.
Moreover, the atmosphere today Jaguarundi not easy to predict. They are animals who like to own and only met with other Jaguarundi during mating season.
