The Eastern Mountain Bongo calf has found a particularly affectionate babysitter! ♥️
➡️ The calf is enjoying spending time with his herd in African Forest, but first-time mum Othaya got a break from caring for her newborn when Auntie Odongo stepped in to do a spot of grooming. It's safe to say the calf has settled right in with his new tribe!

Woburn Safari Park is thrilled to announce the birth of one of the most critically endangered animals on the planet, an Eastern Mountain bongo calf! ❤️
On Wednesday, 16th October, first-time mum Othaya welcomed a male bongo calf in the late afternoon. Mother and calf are currently being kept inside to give them time to bond and grow stronger. Meanwhile the bongo calf has completely stolen the keepers’ hearts with his enormous ears and has been spotted walking around the stable exploring his environment, sticking close to mum while he grows steadier on his hooves!
The eastern mountain bongo has been hunted almost to extinction in the wild and, with less than 100 individuals remaining worldwide, this birth is hugely important for the future of this wonderful species.

Big or small - who doesn’t love a pumpkin? 🎃
The animals at Woburn Safari Park have been enjoying their pumpkin enrichment in all sorts of fun ways! While the capybaras prefer to gently nibble on their tasty treats, the elephant herd like to take a more ‘heavy-footed’ approach 🐘
