1st male eastern mountain bongo calf born at Woburn Safari Park in over a decade, critical for conservation efforts.
Woburn Safari Park in the UK has celebrated the birth of a male eastern mountain bongo calf, the first at the park in over a decade. Born on October 16 to first-time mother Othaya, this event is crucial for conservation efforts as the species is critically endangered, with fewer than 100 remaining in the wild due to poaching and habitat loss. The park aims to eventually integrate the calf into a breeding program to help revive the population.
