Critically Endangered Bongo Calf Born at Woburn Safari Park

The birth of the eastern mountain bongo calf marks a significant achievement for global conservation efforts.

• The eastern mountain bongo calf was born at Woburn Safari Park on October 16, 2024, the first birth of its kind at the park in over a decade.
• With fewer than 100 eastern mountain bongos remaining in the wild, this birth is seen as a major success in the fight against extinction.
• The calf is part of a breeding program managed by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums, aimed at increasing the species' population.
• Both the calf and its mother, Othaya, are reportedly healthy and are being kept inside to bond and grow stronger.
• The calf's father, Sonny, joined the bongo herd last year, contributing to the park's conservation efforts.
