Gizmo's mama wasn't feeling too motherly as she hadn't fed this babe since its birth on Feb.
Gizmo's mama wasn't feeling too motherly as she hadn't fed this babe since its birth on Feb. 15. Soooo, animal tenders at the Budapest Zoo Park and Botanic Garden had to step in and feed the little one instead.
With only about 30,000 existing in the wild, the Nile Lechwe antelopeis native to swamps and floodplains of the Nile River Valley in Africa.

When I think of antelopes, the first thing that comes to mind are their extravagant horns, often curving into beautiful shapes like arcs and helices. Can you recognize any of these unique-looking hoofed, horned creatures? Originally I was gonna ask you to match the name to the antelope pictured but, because even I am not an absolute antelope expert, I decided to make it easier on both of us. For each, you'll see a picture, a description of a trademark feature, and part of the species name (think Wheel of Fortune) – it's up to you to complete the word! Good luck.
