Royal Safari Garden is back with happy news from the world of animal conservation. A Watusi calf (Bos taurus sp.) has been born in the resort area located in the middle of nature in Puncak, Bogor. This birth is a symbol of Royal Safari Garden’s success in supporting international animal conservation and education programs in Indonesia.
The Watusi calf was born from a pair of parents, Hana (female, 11 years old) and Hoax (male, 6 years old), two Watusi animals that have become part of the Royal Safari Garden family. This birth occurred on March 12, 2025, after a gestation period of approximately 290 days. This reddish-brown Watusi calf was born in a healthy condition and is now under the supervision of a team of veterinarians and experienced animal keepers. This Watusi calf was named Hani, with a female gender.
Watusi is a type of African cattle known for having large horns that can grow to more than two meters. These horns are not only a visual identity, but also function as a thermoregulatory tool to regulate body temperature in the heat of their natural habitats such as the African grasslands and savannahs.
In addition, Watusi horns also serve as a defense against predators, making them a formidable animal and a symbol of strength in African culture. At Royal Safari Garden, education about the function of these horns is an important part of the animal education program for visitors.
As a thematic resort with an active conservation approach, Royal Safari Garden not only offers a stay experience, but also enriches visitors’ insights through direct interaction with animals. The presence of Watusi at this resort is part of the international animal collection that is introduced in a natural atmosphere.
Visitors can see the Watusi family directly in the Herbivore area, and have the opportunity to feed Hoax and Hana through the Herbivore Feeding program. With the birth of this Watusi calf, Royal Safari Garden strengthens its role as an educational tourism destination that is committed to animal conservation.
Royal Safari Garden invites families, students, and animal lovers to witness firsthand the growth and development of a Watusi calf named Hani. This birth is expected to be a means of learning about the importance of animal conservation, as well as a unique experience that leaves a deep impression.
“The birth of Hani, Watusi’s child at Royal Safari Garden, is real proof of our commitment to supporting animal conservation, while also providing a fun educational experience for families. At Royal Safari Garden, guests can learn directly about the uniqueness of animals up close. We invite the public to enjoy a different vacation that is closer to nature, more concerned about animal life, and of course, more memorable with Royal Safari Garden.” said Dody Saputro, General Manager of Royal Safari Garden.
