A few months ago the three Female Chacoan Peccaries got a boyfriend :) I wanted to make this post with a photo, but I still haven't been able to tell which one he is to accurately capture him ;( I can tell you, his name is Habenero! I got his info when he arrived, so I hope I remember correctly (if not I will update), but I believe he is ten years old and came from the Hogle Zoo. Hopefully he will be spicing things up and there will be babie peccaries at some point! Welcome Habenero!
I don't think I did a welcome for the Male Greater Kudu who has been here at least the nine months it takes to gestate a calf, since he is the Father of the next welcome :) This is Jack! Jack came to the Zoo from Safari West.
On November 18th a female Greater Kudu gave birth and last Friday it ventured out of the barn for the first time! Yesterday I got some pretty cute captures of the little thing with its Mama and meeting new friends on the Savannah! Welcome Kudu Calf!
