Bonus Zoo Baby! Somali Wild Ass January 21, 2010

At the Wild Animal Park last weekend to see the baby okapi, I also stopped by the Animal Care Center near the petting kraal, where some of the baby animals born at the park are cared for before being returned to their exhibits or sent to other zoos. There were a couple of cute babies in the nursery yard when I stopped by, including a mini Giant Eland, an oryx, and a super-cute baby Somali Wild Ass.
