Sichuan Takin Born in St. Louis

Christina Thompson (Anchor, EarthxNews):  Staffers at the St Louis Zoo recently welcomed a newborn Sichuan takin, which is a sub-species of an antelope goat.

The baby, named Cornelia, was born in January and marks the first takin birth at the wildlife facility in nearly a decade. Zoo officials say the little one and her mom, Dawn, are doing well and made their first trip into their outdoor habitat in the beginning of March.

Cornelia’s birth marks a bright spot for the species, which is listed as vulnerable.
