Albert and Samson from the Rio Grande Zoo in addition to Sneezy from the Tulsa Zoo. Following a DNA test from collected blood samples, Albert was determined to be the father.

2023-06-13: Testing positive for Tuberculosis. BioPark officials say they will begin treatment with antibiotics that will last between 12-18 months to try and cure the disease.

The veterinary staff first noticed abnormalities in Albert's bloodwork and determined further investigation was needed.
