It’s been at least a couple months since we had any new baby animals to coo over at the National Zoo, but the wait is now over! The Zoo recently posted these photos to its Flickr feed of its new dama gazelle calf. The baby gazelle, a girl, was born on Friday to proud parents Adara and Rajih.

Zoo officials say the calf is currently off-exhibit, along with her mother, while she nurses, but hopefully we’ll be able to see her for ourselves once she gets a bit older. The birth is also good news for dama gazelles everywhere, as they are listed as critically endangered.
