The new arrivals are tiny creatures, no bigger than kittens, and belong to the smallest species of antelope. The parents are only 15min high. There are five bluebucks in the Zoo, says the "New Zealand Herald," and they are the only specimens in New Zealand or Australia. The species is extremely rare and is peculiar to Natal, South Africa. The animals in the Auckland Zoo were presented by Mr W. E. Sargent, who brought them from Africa last April.
