Rio, the first baby Agouti to be hand-raised at Australia's Taronga Zoo in 22 years, is chock full of personality. Born on December 8th, Rio is being hand-raised by keeper Simon Brown, as her mother passed away suddenly after her birth. Keeper Brown is ensuring a healthy transition to life at the zoo's Education center, by slowly but steadily helping her get accommodated to her new surroundings. You can learn all about Agouti's big adventure here on Taronga's blog post about her.

I don’t know if the title was done intentionally, but I sang “Her name is Rio and she fits inside your hands” to the Duran Duran tune. LOL
Best wishes to Rio, Simon & the Taronga Zoo. -
What a cutie! A tip of the hat for the Duran Duran reference. 🙂
