The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
In this adorable video, a baby Coquerel’s Sifaka lemur born at the St. Louis Zoo January 23rd, tries to go for a climb. In the second half of the video, look for the baby’s tiny head poking out from within mom’s fur.
These endangered lemurs have a matriarchal society where females eat first and pick their lemur boyfriends.
Just 33 days old today, this fluffy Rockhopper Penguin chick calls the St. Louis Zoo home. Hatched and initially cared for by its parents, the chick was temporarily moved to a special area after it started living up to its name and dangerously hopping from rock to rock. Apparently climbing rocks can be dangerous, even for a baby Rockhopper. The young chick will be returned to its Penguin & Puffin Coast habitat once its swimming feathers grow-in.
