20-year-old Zsa Zsa, an experienced mother and first-time dad 22-year-old Howie were paired as part of the Species Survival Plan (SSP), overseen by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums which ensures the survival of protected, threatened, and endangered species
“We are very excited to welcome this healthy female calf to ZooTampa,” said Chris Massaro, Senior VP, Zoological Operations. “Conservation efforts for species like the pygmy hippo take lots of work and require collaboration across international boundaries. Every birth is a sign of hope and helps save endangered species for future generations to enjoy, appreciate and cherish.”
