The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is celebrating the birth of a baby caribou, an exciting addition that highlights the Zoo’s commitment to conservation, education and animal welfare.

The male calf was born on Thursday, June 25, 2026, to mother Mira. He weighed 9.4 kilograms at birth and has since grown to 12.8 kilograms. Mom and baby are currently receiving care behind the scenes while the Zoo’s Animal Care Specialists closely monitor their progress and support this important early bonding period. The pair are expected to begin exploring their habitat this week.

The calf has been named Lyall Petrie in honour of Dr. Lyall Petrie, who was a mentor and friend to hundreds of veterinary students at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in large animal medicine. Dr. Petrie passed away on May 5, 2026.

“Our Animal Care Specialists are providing Mira and her calf with the time, space and support they need during these important early days,” said Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager, Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. “It is especially meaningful to name this calf Lyall Petrie in honour of Dr. Petrie, whose guidance, generosity and dedication left a lasting mark on so many in the veterinary community.”

Visitors can expect to see Lyall gradually become more active, stay close to Mira and begin exploring the caribou habitat as the pair continue to settle in. Visibility may vary from day to day as our team continue to prioritize the health, comfort and routine of both animals.

Caribou, also known as reindeer, are the same species, Rangifer tarandus. Listed as Vulnerable, caribou face risks including habitat loss, human development and climate change. They are well adapted to cold climates, with a dense undercoat and longer hollow guard hairs for warmth. Their broad hooves help them move across snow and soft ground, and both males and females grow antlers.

The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is proud to support the Caribou Conservation Alliance. The birth of this calf helps raise awareness about the importance of protecting caribou and their habitats for future generations.
