Fun facts: Milwaukee County Zoo penguin parents are Fiona & Oscar and the chick's sex is determined by blood sample between 1-3 months old.

Milwaukee County Zoo Keepers share that Asante (Born August 4th) and mom, Ziggy, continue to bond and are now spending the night with the other females in the indoor habitat. During the day, Asante and his half-sister, Poppy, can often be seen romping together, studying the public, or napping. Asante, like other calves his age, is experimenting with solid food and eating a small amount of alfalfa, browse (leaves from trees and shrubs), and pelleted chow — although he’s still nursing quite a bit as well. Along with Poppy, he spends a lot of time following his older half-sister, Maya, his aunt, Rahna, and other female, Marlee, outside. And he continues to grow, standing tall at roughly 6’6” now!

Milwaukee County Zoo’s second giraffe calf of the season was born yesterday (8/4) to Ziggy and Baha. It’s their 4th calf.

The calf was:

Born at 12:20 p.m.

Standing by 1:05 p.m.

Nursing at 1:40 p.m.

Mom and baby will be indoors, which will be closed to visitors as they bond.

You will be able to see the rest of the giraffe tower in their outside habitat.
