Zoo Miami has welcomed the birth of a rare giant eland, a male calf weighing 65 pounds, making it the 17th giant eland born at the zoo.
The giant eland, the world's largest antelope, is listed as vulnerable by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, highlighting the significance of the calf's birth.
As the only accredited zoo in the country to house giant elands, Zoo Miami plays a crucial role in the conservation of this vulnerable species.
The calf's mother, Maria, may keep her young one in a discreet location, making it challenging for zoo-goers to spot the new arrival.
