A delightful new arrival has captured hearts at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in North Somerset—a fluffy Highland calf born on Friday, May 9. The healthy female calf is already bonding beautifully with her mother, Agnes, and has made her debut in the zoo’s open fields where visitors can now see her.
To celebrate this special addition, the zoo is engaging the public through a naming competition on its official social media channels. Zoo enthusiasts and locals alike are encouraged to submit their name suggestions, with the winning name to be announced soon.
The calf’s birth marks another success for Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm’s ongoing commitment to animal welfare and conservation. Highland cattle, known for their gentle nature and distinctive shaggy coats, have long been a favourite among visitors of all ages.

Home to over 100 species—including lions, elephants, and bears—Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm is a registered charity devoted to education, conservation, and animal wellbeing. The zoo welcomes more than 225,000 visitors each year and is conveniently located just six miles from Bristol.
This charming calf joins a diverse range of wildlife at the zoo, which is also preparing to launch a major Carnivore Project this summer. The expansion will introduce tigers, Arctic foxes, and a new habitat for its resident pride of lions.
