Fresno’s Chaffee Zoo reveals its newest addition

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – The Fresno Chaffee Zoo revealed its latest baby animal born in captivity, warthog piglet “Ua.”

According to the Fresno Zoo, Ua was born on April 26 to warthog parents Zelda and Heathcliffe.

Ua means flower, and in Monday’s announcement, officials say the piglet is the first one born to Zelda and Heathcliffe.

Ua was allowed to step into the Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s warthog habitat for the first time on Monday; staff say she and her mother Zelda were eager to make the most of their first day out.

Zoo keepers are waiting for the mother and daughter to adjust and get acquainted with their habitat before introducing Ua to her dad, Heathcliffe.

Visitors at the zoo can see the young warthog sprint around the habitat most days from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
