The Calgary Zoo has announced there is literally a new kid in town.

On Nov. 14, Air North flew a 115-lb. male Rocky Mountain goat kid – now aptly named "Yukon” – to Calgary to join two older female Rocky Mountain goats in the zoo's Canadian Wilds.

The five-month-old goat came from the Yukon Wildlife Preserve north of Whitehorse and is an important genetic addition to Calgary's Rocky Mountain goats in captivity.

"Yukon's father, Geronimo, was an orphan kid from the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in Smithers, B.C., and the zoo had an understanding with the preserve that we could eventually acquire one of his offspring, since most captive Rocky Mountain goats in North America are currently related to Calgary Zoo stock,” said zoo-area curator Jamie Dorgan.

"This little guy is first-generation captive-born on his sire's side, and only a few generations on his dam's side, making him a really valuable addition to the captive population.”

"This is a terrific opportunity to support a fellow zoological facility which shares the same vision and mandate as the Yukon Wildlife Preserve,” said Greg Meredith, the preserve's executive director.

"With complimentary transport provided by Air North, and a warm welcome by the Calgary Zoo, we are confident our little goat will enjoy his new life in Calgary.”

"Wildlife is a vital part of Yukon's environment, culture and values,” said Debra Ryan, the airline's manager of strategic partnerships and alliances.

"We are delighted that visitors to the Calgary Zoo will now have the opportunity to make the connection with our Yukon-born Rocky Mountain goat kid and know he'll inspire visitors to one day venture north to visit the Yukon Wildlife Preserve.”

The goat is now settled into his new home and can be seen in the Rocky Mountain section of the Calgary Zoo's Canadian Wilds exhibit.
