A video shared by the zoo shows the birth and the moment the calf stood up for the first time, less than an hour later.
The calf, which already weighs 57 pounds, is already meeting milestones like nursing and bonding with his mom.
“We are overjoyed about the arrival of Kayin’s first calf and welcoming this new generation to our okapi family,” Tracey Dolphin, the zoo’s curator of hoofstock and primates, said in a statement. “Kayin is being a very attentive first-time mother and demonstrating exceptional maternal care.”The okapi, native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa, is the only surviving relative of the giraffe.Copyright 2022 Gray Media Group, Inc.
