Julie Larsen Maher/Wildlife Conservation Society Prospect Park Zoo's new calf, photographed here on Dec. 6 with his mother, Tetley.Brooklyn's bovine population has grown by one: a calf was born at the Prospect Park Zoo, officials announced Monday.
The calf, a male who has not yet been named, was born earlier this month and is the offspring of a milking cow named Tetley; he is the first calf ever born at the zoo, officials said.
Tetley is a relative newcomer to the zoo who replaced Aggie, who died last year.
The calf weighed 84 pound s at birth and is growing quickly. He can be seen in the zoo's barn area along with geese, goats, sheep and a turkey.
