Easier the second time around? For Murera, it was! When Murera had her first calf, Mwana, it took the two of them a little while to work out how to nurse. Our Keepers stepped in, collecting milk from Murera and giving it to Mwana in a bottle so she’d get that vital colostrum and those antibodies. Eleven days later, things clicked, and mother and daughter began a nursing relationship that lasted until Murera fell pregnant again. Earlier this week, Murera gave birth to her second calf and, as many second-time mums can attest, things slotted into place straight away for her and Mwezi. We couldn’t be prouder of our matriarch!
