The Chicago zoo has welcomed this adorable three-week-old Klipspringer. It’s one of the tiniest hoofed creatures ever.
The Lincoln Park zoo is celebrating the birth of a baby klipspringer, which means “rock jumper” in Afrikaans.
Born on March 30, the female klipspringer calf is the second child of Dash (the sire) and Triumph (the dam). Klipspringer pairs mate for life.
The baby calf joins her older sister, Arya, who also resides at the zoo.
“The klipspringer calf is healthy and eating well and, as a result, has almost doubled her weight since birth,” said Curator of Mammals Mark Kamhout.
