Keepers at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park near Eatonville, WA spotted longtime resident Connie the Moose with a wobbly, long-legged calf Saturday, confirming suspicions that she had been pregnant. Connie gave birth late Friday or early Saturday, reports The Olympian. Keepers got close enough to tell that the newborn looked healthy, but not to determine the calf's gender. Once the park figures that out, it will start talking baby names. Connie's newborn is the first moose born at the park in 15 years, and joins two other adult moose in addition to Connie: Ellis, the father, and Nancy.
