The keepers at Newquay Zoo are thrilled by the birth of a rare female white tailed-Gnu (or Black Wildebeest) and the new arrival, named Poppy, is being hand-reared round the clock.

Originally found in western Swaziland and Lesotho, the Black Wildebeest was hunted to near extinction in the late 19th Century, and although the population has recovered in protected areas, the species does not exist in the wild.

The Zoo has pioneered recent breeding for this difficult species since 2008, being the first UK Zoo to house Black Wildebeest after an absence of 20 years. Since then they have celebrated the arrival of four youngsters in total, with the latest calf born just nine days ago.
