The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
ZOO Antwerp welcomed a baby Aardvark on the 6th January. The Belgian Zoo has given the young “earth pig” (yes, Aardvark means earth pig!) the name Nuru, meaning born in the daylight. Producing enough mother’s milk is a challenge for four time Aardvark mom Curly. So far, so good for baby Nuru, however. Keepers have noted Nuru’s ears standing upright as an indicator of great health.

It’s hideous…ly cute! 😀
I love baby aardvarks. Kinda makes me wonder what Mother Nature was smokin’ the day she though them up! Probably was the around same time we got the platypus. I love them all…
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Amen.
OMG the curlecue tongue is uber cute!! They are just darling, definitely in the ‘so ugly they’re cute’ camp.
The look on the zookeeper’s face is priceless!
