Pictures have been released of a baby vicuna – known as a cria – born at the Highland Wildlife Park last month.

Keepers at the site in Kincraig said the female was born on 18 June to parents Juanita and Austria.

They have named the month-old female Xoco, a Nahuatl name meaning “little sister” or “the youngest child”.

Vicunas are the smallest members of the camel family and a relative of llamas and alpacas. They are native to the high alpine areas of the Andes Mountains in South America.

The Highland vicuna is said to be doing well and settling in with the herd.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is continuing its recent “baby boom” of animals.

Two rare snow leopard cubs have been born at the park, alongside Himalayan monals and red deer, as well as Bru the capybara, Snoot the giant armadillo and Atty the sloth at Edinburgh Zoo.

A small herd of six vicuna live at the park in the Highlands – Juanita, Ozzy, Austria, Kantu, Tupac and now, Xoco.
