Speaking after the birth, African Plains team leader Helen Clarke-Bennet said: “We are absolutely thrilled with the new arrival and recognise the significance of this birth in the conservation of the scimitar-horned oryx.
“The calf has shown strong signs of settling into its new surroundings and is mixing extremely well with the rest of the herd.”
Dublin Zoo had a record number of visitors in 2016, with more than 1 million people visiting the attraction during the year.
