Bundles of Love.

Red River Hoglet

~ Born Saturday, April 24, 2021 to seven-year-old Red River hog first time mom, Zena and father Huey. It’s about the size of Zena’s snout, and it’s a beautiful orange-red color with white stripes and spots on its body.

Ring-tailed Baby

~ Born Monday, April 26, 2021 to eight-year-old mother Rogue, and father Hercules. The baby has the same markings as the adult lemurs, complete with mini tufted ears and a long black-and-white striped tail. Mom and baby are doing very well.

Giraffe Calf, "BB"

Where African Rift Valley

– Born Monday, September 28, to 8-year-old mom Bailey, and father Khalid! This female calf, named “BB,” is the seventeenth member of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s reticulated giraffe herd. Check for future updates on our social media channels.

Siamang Baby "Rahsia"

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 girl, Rahsia. Baby, mom and dad are doing well.

Alaska Moose Calf, "Atka"

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 is a red-necked wallaby mom and since March 2021 has been carrying a new joey in her pouch. Our baby wallaby will continue to live in it’s mom’s pouch for several months until it is comfortable to start venturing out and hopping along on its own. Until then, be sure to keep an eye out for it wiggling around in Gidgee’s pouch! Visit Gidgee and the mob daily in Australia Walkabout, where our wallabies can hop right up to guests to say hello! Tune into our CMZooFacebook page for joey updates and pouch peeks!

Mountian Lion, "Koda"

Where Rocky Mountain Wild

– Youngster Koda is now living full-time with 1-year-old mountain lion siblings, Adira and Sitka! Because Koda was so much smaller than Adira and Sitka, and because he was found alone at such a young age, introducing the three cougars was a delicate process. You can visit them in Rocky Mountain Wild!

Rocky Mountain Goat Kid, "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 Hoffmann's two-toed sloth, "Bean"

Location: Hands-on in The Loft

– Born May 14. 2019 at 12:15 p.m. to first-time mom, 19-year-old Chalupa, who exhibited 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 Bean is now in The Loft and apart of our EdVenture animals.

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.”
