Rare Babirusa Pig Born At Houston Zoo

The Houston Zoo recorded a first on May 21 with the birth of a rare and endangered babirusa pig. The new arrival is named Hadiah (pronounced: huh-DI-ah). Her name means 'gift' in an Indonesian language. Hadiah weighed approximately one pound at birth and she immediately captured the hearts of her keepers. The newborn may be seen daily on exhibit at the Zoo's Wortham World of Primates with her mother Remley. Hadiah is Remley's first birth.
