On October 20 at 9:37 in the morning the Houston Zoo welcomed its newest arrival – a baby nyala.  His name is Noah and he weighed eleven and a half pounds at birth.  Noah was born in the exhibit as keepers and zebras Charlie and Image and giant eland Sadie observed.  

Noah’s mother Alanis is the oldest nyala in a North American zoo.  Noah is her sixth calf.  Noah’s sister Ginger was born on October 19 last year.
