Everyone welcome Masala, Saffron’s miracle baby, to the Chattanooga Zoo!

Masala was born earlier in July when one of the zoo’s keepers Dominique Daniel noticed signs of Saffron going into labor — even though her pregnancy wasn’t confirmed. While the zoo suspected Saffron to be pregnant, a reproductive process called delayed implantation affected the timeline and made it difficult to fully confirm.

We’re so happy about this good news for Saffron, especially after her mate Avi passed earlier this year! Celebrate the birth of Masala with a gender reveal party on October 18 from 1:30-4:30.
