Another male calf was born at Woburn in May this year, to first-time mother Odongo and father Sonny.
Head of section Tom Robson, who monitored the birth because of challenges during Djembe’s birth, said: “This is Othaya’s second calf, and she struggled giving birth to her first one, so we checked her frequently throughout the night.
“Thankfully all was well and we’re happy to see a strong-looking calf.”
“Othaya struggled to feed the new arrival at first, so we provided a supplement, but now mum is doing a great job.
“As it’s a female calf she will hopefully go on to breed in the future and play a part in the survival of the bongo species.”
