Zoo Miami has welcomed six new baby animals to six different mothers at its sanctuary.
All six animals are females and from species that have been classified as either endangered or vulnerable.
The first birth was a female addax born on July 2. Addaxes are African desert antelopes and are one of the most endangered animals in the world, with fewer than 100 left in the Sahara.
They have thin stripes and large ears, and are indigenous to north-eastern Africa.
The zoo is also anticipating two more births any day now, of another giant eland and a giraffe.
