Birth of rare calf belonging to smallest species of wild cattle captured on video
Hidden cameras at Chester Zoo have captured the first ever footage of an anoa calf birth – the world’s smallest species of wild cattle.
The birth of the rare female calf, named Kasimbar, followed a 10-month pregnancy and was recorded on hidden cameras located in her den.
The anoa is native to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia and listed as an endangered animal with only an estimated 2,500 left in the wild.
The footage shows the mother, Darcy, safely delivering her calf and the newborn stumbling to her feet and taking her very first steps.
Callum Garner, a keeper at Chester Zoo, said he feels “privileged” and hopes the video can help conservationists gain better knowledge about the animal.
