Adorable Mini Zebu Calf Born at Prospect Park Zoo

Zebu and calf  by Julie Larsen Maher
An adorable miniature zebu calf was born at the Prospect Park Zoo on July 21.

The zoo tells us that zebu is one of the oldest breeds of cattle, believed to have originated in southern India around 6,000 years ago. Although small, adult mini zebus can weigh up to 500 pounds and measure three to four feet in length.

The Prospect Park Zoo also has miniature horses!
