Nova, a bison calf born June 28, 2026 at the South Park Buffalo Preserve, was named after a butterfly moment that comforted a grieving group member; despite hand-feeding, Nova died at 4 a.m. a few days later as Crimson mourned nearby, with a yellow butterfly later seen as a sign of Nova’s presence—an example of how nature entwines birth, loss, and memory. The article also notes the high mortality risk for newborn calves, including weak calf syndrome.

Multiple Zoos Welcome Adorable New Giraffe Calves

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo welcomed a female giraffe calf, the fifth in the current giraffe barn. The calf was born to first-time mom Zola and father Jawara. Despite a normal delivery, Zola did not show the expected level of maternal care, leading to veterinary and animal care teams to intervene and provide around-the-clock care. The calf received a plasma transfusion from Jawara's previously banked plasma and is being transitioned to a bottle. The zoo is cautiously optimistic about the calf's survival.
