Greater kudo named 'Chula' born at Milwaukee County Zoo

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A new member of the Milwaukee County Zoo was introduced, and she'll be joining the African Waterhole habitat.

A female greater kudo (pronounced "koo-doo") was born on Aug. 5 to mother Imani and father Hasani. 

The greater kudo is named Chula, which means "cute" in Spanish. 

The zoo says Chula was up and walking shortly after birth and the following day, she weighed 15.1 kg at her neonate exam. 

According to the zoo, greater kudos are one of the tallest antelope and native to the dense bush and forested areas of eastern and southern Africa. Females are tawny-colored, and adult males are often more gray-brown — useful for camouflage from predators. Thin, white, vertical stripes run down their flank, while white markings and spots color their face. A crest of long hair runs from their neck down their entire back. But most prominent are the large, spiral horns on the adult males that enable them to spar with each other. Their horns can reach nearly 4 feet tall with 2 ½ inch twists!

Chula, now more than a month old, is flourishing at the zoo. As a first-time mom, the zoo says Imani is doing great and is very attentive to Chula. 

Chula will likely be seen daily in the African Waterhole habitat "practicing" her leaps!
