PHOTOS: Baby Dama Gazelle Makes Her Debut
Two-weeks old and already strutting her stuff, the newest dama gazelle went on display for the first time Wednesday at the National Zoo. Born to mother Zafirah, the baby joins another youngin born September 4 to mother Fahima. The two were seen sprinting around the yard together in a playful frolic. In case you aren’t sure how adorable it is when baby gazelles run, we provided some priceless footage (above) of the older male baby bounding about in September.
