The Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City on Tuesday announced the name of the critically endangered black rhino calf after the voting results were counted.

Ayubu — that’s the name for the black rhino calf born on January 20 at Lee Richardson Zoo. Ayubu is Swahili for perseverance which is a quality a critically endangered species definitely needs.

Ayubu weighed around 90 lbs when he was born. For comparison, his father who is 7 years old, weighs 2,570 pounds. Ayubu and his mom have been spending time indoors bonding. The calf is putting on weight and developing his coordination, speed, and ‘rhino-tude’ (rhino attitude). He has also started nibbling at the same food his mom and dad eat.

They're not the kind of dragons you've seen in "Game of Thrones," but they sure are cute.

The Birmingham Zoo on Wednesday announced the birth of three rare baby Philippine Sailfin Dragons. Zookeepers named the newborns Ezekiel, Nat and Tony.

Philippine Sailfin Dragons are rare and not common in zoos. They are so rare that they've been listed as vulnerable due to their habitat loss mostly caused by the logging industry.

Only 12 zoos in the United States have these creatures in their exhibits.

The Maryland Zoo shared an adorable video of a mother chimpanzee interacting with a baby chimpanzee adopted by the zoo.

About halfway through the video, mother chimpanzee Bunny is seen poking baby Maisie in the stomach as she gently plays with her.

Maise was adopted by The Maryland Zoo in September 2020. According to the zoo's website, Maise was born at the Oklahoma City Zoo on Aug. 28 but was moved to The Maryland Zoo to be paired with a surrogate mother and interact with other baby chimpanzees after her birth mother was unable to properly care for her.

"Playing with Lola and Violet, napping, and eating from a bottle provided by keepers through the habitat barrier continue to be Maisie’s main activities as her troop integration continues. Each day is a little different and allows Maisie to learn more about being a chimp from her troopmates while the Chimp Care Team carefully monitors the dynamics in her mini social group," The Maryland Zoo explained on Facebook.

1614298233731.png The furry bambino has certainly been enjoying the great outdoors. The antics that bitty gets up to.

I don't know where he finds the energy as often he and Mei Xiang get rambunctious after the midnight hour. He is also growing by leaps and bounds.

I will be seeing him in person this fall. It's true, I am quite panda mad and Mr. Victoria wants to indulge me and he has business there then.

Wish it would have been in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom but you can't have everything.
