“Gaya” by the visitors. The animal<br />

is an antelope from the <strong>de</strong>sert areas<br />

of northern Africa. In May, the calf<br />

was able to stay on exhibition and<br />

Nos primeiros meses <strong>de</strong> vida,<br />

Gaya teve que ficar <strong>de</strong> resguardo<br />

para que técnicos do Zoo acompanhassem<br />

o comportamento e a<br />

saú<strong>de</strong> do animal. Na maternida<strong>de</strong><br />

ela passou por exames, tomou<br />

vacinas e vermífugos e teve o peso<br />

e o tamanho acompanhados. A<br />

família <strong>de</strong> Adax no Zoo é formada<br />

pela mãe, o pai e o irmão.<br />

so that the Zoo staff followed the<br />

behavior and the health of the animal.<br />

In the maternity ward, she was<br />

examined by veterinarians, took<br />

vaccines and <strong>de</strong>worming, and was<br />

weighed and measured. The Zoo<br />

family of addax is formed by the<br />

mother, the father and the brother.<br />
