On Halloween day, the Los Angeles Zoo's female hippopotamus, Mara, went into labor and gave birth to a healthy calf 2.5 hours later. This is the first hippopotamus calf the Zoo has had in 26 years!
Mara, 10 years old, arrived at the L.A. Zoo from the Topeka Zoo in December of 2013 as a companion for our male, Adhama, 3 yeras old, who came from the San Diego Zoo in June 2013.
Mother, father, and baby can all be seen on exhibit daily. Come by and visit them today!
