Highland Wildlife Park celebrates birth of Xoco the vicuna
Posted 15 Jul 2026 in Highland Wildlife Park
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is continuing its ‘baby boom’ with the birth of an adorable vicuna. The month-old female has been named Xoco by keepers at Highland Wildlife Park, a Nahuatl name meaning "little sister" or "the youngest child".
Born to parents Juanita and Austria on Thursday 18 June, keepers at the wildlife conservation charity say the female youngster is doing well and settling in with the herd.
Visitors to the park will be able to spot her exploring the drive-through reserve with mum close by.
