The ”spirited newcomer stood up and began nursing soon after birth,” according to the release.
He will debut with his family in the spring, but the zoo will be asking the public to help name him.
Zoo Spokeswoman Carla Knapp said the staff will be brainstorming to come up with a few names for the newcomer, an appelation appropriate for its personality and its native land of Sub-Saharan Africa.
The public will then have an opportunity to vote on the best name through a poll soon to be posted on the zoo’s Facebook page.
