Keepers say that Garret is "a calm influence and a great role model for his sons." Garret and Kushukuru can engage with the rest of the family through a mesh "howdy" window that allows them to see, hear, and smell Rogue, Toba, and the new baby. Older brother Toba, who was present for the birth, is also spending evenings with them. Rogue and her calf are currently bonding in a quiet enclosure "behind the scenes," according to the National Zoo. A spokesperson for the National Zoo said the animal care team is currently researching names for the calf and people can stay tuned for updates through the zoo's social media channels. The next day, zookeepers discovered the calf and found him to be "healthy and strong." Rogue, along with the calf's 10-year-old father, Garret, have two other children: Kushukuru and Toba, who were both born in 2019. Rogue, the calf's 7-year-old mother, gave birth to the calf - who remains nameless - on March 28. "As the newborn kudu acclimates to his habitat, visitors may be able to view him and his family exploring their surroundings," the National Zoo wrote in a press release announcing the birth. Cheetah Conservation Station keepers at the Smithsonian National Zoo announced Thursday that a new male lesser kudu calf was born there last month. Now there's another new animal baby to celebrate as well.
There's been a lot of attention on a certain sleepy baby at the Smithsonian National Zoo: the panda Xiao Qi Ji, who visitors can sign up to see when the zoo reopens on May 21. Say hello to the month-old lesser kudu calf at the National Zoo.
