00:00We're out here this morning and we're observing our two youngest calves and we have the male calf
00:07Umzula Zuli, our August 12 baby and then our September 26 female is Umkaya. Zuli, what we noticed
00:16him was starting to play with a lot of the brows so he was trying to figure out his trunk. In fact
00:20he picked up a rather large branch. I was kind of excited that he was able to manipulate his trunk
00:24and pull such a large large branch up off the ground like that. They're not really eating the
00:29brows so they're just kind of mouthing it. All the nutrition is coming from mom's milk and they'll
00:33continue for about another month or so but as they you know their teeth start developing
00:39then they're going to start eating solid food but right now it's mostly mom's milk.
00:47At first they were far apart they were just hanging out close to their moms but eventually the calves
00:52found each other kind of gravitated toward each other and then it was full on sparring pretty much.
00:58Uh what we noticed with Umzula Zuli he likes to climb on top as often as he can and uh she doesn't give
01:05in either so she'll turn around and start pushing him back and even though he's a little bit bigger
01:09and a little bit older than she is she held her own. Whenever they get these opportunities it's kind of
01:14spontaneous obviously and uh him being a boy he's going to probably want to instigate a lot but you can
01:19see she is right now in a phase where she's completely independent of what her mom's doing and so
01:25she can come over on her own and instigate as well and and so the two kids realize we're the we're
01:30about the same size so it's just a natural thing to see those two playing together.
