Maryland Zoo Welcomes African Pygmy Goat Kid "Zod"

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore welcomes "Zod", a male African pygmy goat kid born on May 16th.

"Zod is another welcome addition to the Farmyard this spring," said Carey Ricciardone, mammal collection and conservation manager at The Maryland Zoo.  "This new little kid has been behind the scenes with Lois since his birth, giving them time to bond. As we have come to expect, Lois is taking very good care of her new kid."

"Zod" was born to the Zoo's African pygmy goat pair Lex and Lois.

In keeping with Superman-themed names for the pygmy goats, Zod is named for General Dru-Zod, a warlord from Superman's home planet of Krypton.

Visitors can see Zoo in the zoo's farmyard area next to the sheep.
