Dublin Zoo has announced the birth of an eastern bongo calf on the African Plains late last week. 

Weighing in at 20kg, the calf was born to first-time mother Nanyuki and father Hodari.

The new arrival brings the bongo herd to four and is a particularly significant birth for the team at Dublin Zoo and the international breeding programme. The species remains critically endangered with possibly less than 100 eastern bongos thought to exist in the wild in a remote area of Kenya.
