The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Dwarf Mongoose Pups Pop into the Bronx Zoo

Posted in ,

Meet the Bronx Zoo's newest arrivals: three Dwarf Mongoose pups. Curious, playful and apparently rather hyper, the three pups are exploring their surroundings in the Giraffe Building. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, Dwarf Mongooses are Africa's smallest carnivore. Despite being quite feisty in the wild, Dwarf Mongooses living near human settlements often become tame.

    The whole family is so cute and adorable. I love that second photograph. Funny how you can’t help seeing how human the expressions on their faces are. Like two little curious children anywhere.

    You can now see 2 of these pups, a male and a female, at the Oregon Zoo’s new Predators of the Serengeti exhibit!
