Lincoln Park Zoo is celebrating the birth of a female baby klipspringer (Afrikaans for “rock jumper”) on March 30.
According to Curator of Mammals, Mark Kamhout, “The klipspringer calf is healthy and eating well and, as a result, has almost doubled her weight since birth. Currently, the calf is being hand-reared by our animal care staff after the mother was unable to provide adequate care.”
The team will provide around-the-clock care for the little antelope until she is ready to navigate the terrain of the klipspringer habitat.
Watch a video of the baby klipspringer here:
In the wild, klipspringers inhabit central and eastern Africa. They are dwarf antelope, reaching an average of 24 pounds.
