Dr. Schwartz expressed the overwhelming joy that Hamish has brought to visitors, with people braving even freezing temperatures to catch a glimpse of the endearing calf.
A particular favorite pastime of Hamish’s is engaging in what the staff fondly refer to as the “zoomies.” Embracing his role as a social butterfly, Hamish eagerly interacts with the other animals at the zoo, displaying a penchant for seeking attention.
As a member of the esteemed Scottish Highland cattle breed, known as one of the oldest registered cattle breeds globally, Hamish is anticipated to reach an impressive weight of up to 2,000 pounds as he matures at Nashville Zoo. Rick Schwartz, the president and CEO of Nashville Zoo, expressed his excitement over Hamish’s presence, highlighting the significant influx of visitors drawn by the calf’s growing popularity on social media.
