The zoo said he died early Saturday morning of an unknown cause, which it plans to determine with a necropsy.
He was born on Sept. 29.
“We knew when he was born so tiny that it would be an uphill battle but had high hopes that the love of his mama and round-the-clock care from our team would be enough to help him begin to thrive,” the zoo said on Facebook.
The Calgary Zoo said it is supporting the calf’s mother, Emara, through the “devastating outcome.” She has previously suffered two miscarriages, and gave birth to a calf that died within 48 hours.
