Please welcome the newest member of our Brookgreen family!
Caesar is a male tunis sheep, and he was born on February 21, 2014.
He was named by our large animal veterinarian.
His mother, Mole, keeps a very close eye on her baby. She is not aggressive, but puts herself between zookeepers and Caesar, and calls for him when we need to pick him up.
Caesar spends most of his time nursing and sleeping, but he loves to jump around (for no apparent reason), and we recently gave him some hay bales for exercise.
Caesar is easily on view at our Plantation Barn. Until he is a little older, Caesar will be in the sheep stall with his mother. This arrangement also gives Mole a rest from the group and the male sheep, Ramsey. The young females in the group are showing a lot of interest in the new baby through the fencing.
