A Scottish zoo announces the birth of a pygmy hippo calf to its resident pair, Otto and Gloria. The calf is reported to have been born on Friday, 31 July. The zoo’s update comes shortly after it said Gloria was pregnant, with the announcement appearing days before the birth. The reports describe the new arrival as very small and newborn, but they do not provide additional details about its health or any named status beyond the reference to a possible playful moniker in coverage. Overall, the published information focuses on the timing of the pregnancy announcement and the subsequent birth to the same two hippos that live at the zoo. No other outlets or additional confirmations are included in the material provided here, so further details such as veterinary assessments, enclosure arrangements, or future public viewing plans are not reflected in this synthesis. The coverage consistently states that Otto and Gloria are the parents and that the birth occurred on 31 July.
