Cameron Park Zoo has a new addition, a male Kirk's dik-dik calf born to the breeding pair Hinata and Velcro. The calf is the fifth for the pair and has been described as energetic and curious by zoo staff. Animal care teams closely monitored the newborn for 48 hours to ensure it was nursing properly.

The calf passed a 24-hour neonatal exam, indicating it is healthy. The young dik-dik will be introduced to the public after it reaches two weeks of age. For more information about the new calf and the zoo's Kirk's dik-dik breeding program, readers can visit the source.
