flag A rare female eastern mountain bongo calf was born at Woburn Safari Park, a key milestone for the critically endangered species.

flag A rare female eastern mountain bongo calf was born at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire, the first of her species born there in over ten years. flag The calf, born to mother Othaya, is the third bongo calf born at the park in 2025, following two males. flag Park staff closely monitored the birth due to complications in a previous delivery, and though Othaya initially struggled to nurse, she is now successfully caring for the calf. flag The birth is a key success for global conservation efforts, as eastern mountain bongos are critically endangered, with fewer than 100 remaining in the wild, threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and disease. flag The calf, displaying the species’ characteristic chestnut coat and white stripes, is bonding with her older siblings and holds future breeding potential, strengthening efforts to preserve genetic diversity and reverse the species’ decline.
