Giraffe Calf Female

Where African Rift Valley

– Born Monday, September 28, to 8-year-old mom Bailey, and father Khalid! This female calf is the seventeenth member of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s reticulated giraffe herd. View and read more about mom and baby (for a limited time on our 24/7 temporary birth cam) at cmzoo.org/GiraffeCams. Check for future updates on our social media channels.

Siamang Baby

Where Primate World

– Born September 7, 2020. Eve, a 9-year-old Siamang at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, took a different approach to Labor Day this year: by going into labor. In the wee hours of the morning she gave birth to an adorable black-haired, pink-eared baby, whose sex has not yet been identified. Baby and mom seem to be doing well so far, and dad, Wayan, is curious and calm around baby. Their keepers, once they recovered from the happy surprise of discovering the baby this morning, have been monitoring the family of three, and see good signs from all. Cast your VOTE HERE and help name her, through Nov. 1.

Baby Alaska Moose Calf

Where Rocky Mountain Wild

– Cheyenne Mountain Zoo was excitedly making preparations for the newest resident of Rocky Mountain Wild — an 8-week-old male Alaska moose. He arrived Wednesday, July 15th. The big-eyed, light brown, long-legged calf was orphaned at about six days old outside of Anchorage, Alaska, when his mother was involved in a fatal human-wildlife conflict. He has since been in the care of Alaska Zoo. Moose are extremely rare in zoos, and this arrival comes only two months after the loss of the Zoo’s beloved 12-year-old Canada moose, Tahoma. This precious little moose calf is named “Atka.”

Red-necked Wallaby Joey

Where Australia Walkabout

– Join us in welcoming the newest member of our mob! Gidgee, a first-time red-necked wallaby mom, has a joey named Clifford. Visit Clifford, Gidgee and the mob daily in Australia Walkabout, where our wallabies can hop right up to guests to say hello!

Baby Mountian Lion Kitten

Where Rocky Mountain Wild

– Help us welcome the newest member of our #CMZoo family, an adorable mountain lion kitten! We may never know this little guy’s full backstory, but what we do know is he was rescued by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officers after being found on a logging road outside of Spokane. On the evening of June 15th, he arrived at his new home with us. We estimate he’s between six and eight weeks old, based on his weight, size and teeth.

Baby Rocky Mountain Goat, "Lena"

Where Rocky Cliffs

– Rocky Mountain goat Lena came to us when she was six months old and has settled in nicely with our other goats, Twinkie, Yazhi and Albert. She came to us as the result of a relocation effort led by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park and other participating zoos.

Young Giraffe Calf, "Viv"

Where African Rift Valley

– Born July 6, 2019 to mother Msitu. Mom and baby girl are both doing well and are meeting guests in the quiet, closely managed giraffe barn today. Read the press release by clicking on this block.

Young Hoffmann's two-toed sloth, "Bean"

Location: Monkey Pavilion

– Born May 14. 2019 at 12:15 p.m. The baby appears to be strong, and first-time mom, 19-year-old Chalupa, is exhibiting quality maternal instincts. The pregnancy came as quite a surprise for Cheyenne Mountain Zoo keepers and staff, when it was first discovered during unrelated veterinary testing.

Young Sumatran Orangutan, “Kera”

Where Primate World

– Born June 6, 2018 at 9:28 p.m., the baby is the third offspring for 30-year-old mom, Sumagu (soo-mah’-goo), and 27-year-old dad, Baka (bah’-kuh). Mother and baby are in Primate World and depending on where Sumagu decides to spend time, she and the baby may or may not be visible to guests. “Kera,” means ‘ape’ in Indonesian and it’s also a nod to her father’s full name, “Baka-Keri.”
