On May 24, a male weighing slightly more than three kilograms was born; on May 28, a female was born; and on May 29, four turts were born at once—three females and one male.
Consensus

- The first birth occurred on May 24, with additional births on May 28, May 29 (four individuals), and June 5.
- All newborns are reported to be in good health.
- The calves can be seen by visitors on the 'Turya Gorka' exhibit located on the New Territory of the zoo.
- The calves stay close to their mothers but sometimes approach the enclosure barrier for viewing.
- Small horns will soon begin to appear on the heads of the young tur.
- The calves spend time together during breaks between feeding and resting.
- A ram named Charlie is the father of all three ewe offspring born in late May and early June.
