Mexican zoo welcomes baby hippo
Baby hippo born in Mexico zoo
Location: Calimaya
Zacango Zoo welcomed its newest arrival
when 22-year-old Tamba
gave birth to a healthy baby hippo
Her previous birthing attempts were unsuccessful
but this new calf appears healthy
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) ZOO VET, JULIANA LEAL, SAYING:
"Its health condition at the moment is stable. It has been observed with its mother and they go everywhere together. They go into the water together, go out to eat. In recent days we have observed it and it appears to be well."
The calf has been bonding so closely to its mother
that keepers are yet to determine the sex
or even give it a name
