![Dick Sweeney, mammal keeper, and bontebok calf](https://timeline.sdzwa.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/75-440-3-1437x1440.jpg)
Keeper Dick Sweeney bottle feeds the first bontebok calf born at the Zoo. The first-time mother did not know how to nurse it, but she did not reject it, so the keepers tried coming into the exhibit to bottle feed it while she looked on. She accepted the situation, and it turned out well for everyone.
