Moose
As the first baby born to this herd, this is one special guy! His name means “to build a family,” a name that is often given to a family’s firstborn child in Swaziland. Moose is growing so fast, we no longer think of him as a baby. But don't tell that to his mother, Ndula. She's still occasionally nursing him!
