Loesje enjoys a large enclosure, part of which is hidden from visitors' view, making it a real treat to spot her! You’ll most often catch a glimpse of her while she’s waiting for lunch. This mysterious beauty leads a secretive life, prefers solitude, and has a great love for food!

Luche is easily recognized by her damaged right eye, which resembles an amber gem, adding to her unique charm and air of mystery.

Please give her your love and a warm welcome!
