On Mother`s Day, Brookfield Zoo`s ”mother of the year” will be a 12-year-old okapi that is expecting her fifth calf.

As part of the Mother`s Day celebration, the okapi will receive a bouquet of lilacs at 1 p.m., May 12. The first 1,000 mothers to arrive at the zoo will get a set of animal-theme oven mitts.
