This mother and daughter are 2 out of only 500 in existence worldwide anywhere!

Kudos to the Kansas City Zoo in their successful breeding program that will help continue the species.

Back when she made her debut to the public, you met Imara as a 2 month old baby http://www.pbase.com/image/28135324

This past weekend, Imara "the strong" celebrated her 6 month birthday with her mom. How she has grown! She now weights 530 pounds.
