Okapi Calf at White Oak

Описание: On December 8th 2010, an okapi calf was born at White Oak Conservation Center. Due to complications, the calf had to be raised by the animal care staff at the Conservation Center. Hand rearing calves requires many hours and a lot of hard work, but is a very rewarding undertaking when the animal responds well.
The staff reports that the calf is thriving. He's drinking from the bottle like a champ and has doubled his birth weight in just a month! This is the 38th okapi calf born at White Oak since 1991.
