Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Woburn Safari Park Experiences Summer Baby Boom

Caption: Woburn Safari Park is having a full-blown baby boom this summer. From penguin chicks doing their first waddles to fluffy alpacas, it's been a heart-melting season of new life for staff and visitors to the Safari Park. Among the new arrivals are four Asian short-clawed otter pups born on 30 May to parents Beatrix and Kovu. Three alpaca babies also arrived this June at the Alpaca Outpost. Liddia, Smithy and Teak each gave birth to healthy youngsters, born to dad Pirro, the herd's alpha male. Woburn's Humboldt penguin colony has also grown, with five fluffy chicks hatching across three family groups. Leaf and Salsa welcomed Jive and Mambo, first-timers Wobble and Spud are proud parents to Maris and Piper, whilst Koopa and Wasabi hatched little Bowser. Ziggy, a critically endangered eastern mountain bongo calf was also born in May, while Zeke, a Bactrian camel was born in April.
