This Page Shared 65 Irresistible Pics Of Baby Animals And Their Moms

Camilla is a critically endangered Coquerel’s sifaka born on December 25, 2021, to parents Lupi and Gabe.

This family group also includes one-year-old Felix, who is learning the ropes of being a big brother.

You can already see in the park a litter of naked mole rats, a very strange and little-known mammal that behaves almost like an insect. It is practically immune to cancer, can switch between cold- and warm-blooded-like states, has developed four constantly growing incisors, and is exceptionally long-lived. In the absence of oxygen, it can even survive in a way similar to plants.

At Racine Zoo, it’s an emperor tamarin baby boom — welcome newborns!

On June 21, the Racine Zoo welcomed another pair of tamarin twins, nearly six months after their older siblings Gabriella and Gianna were born on December 22. While this marks a new record for the shortest interbirth interval at Racine Zoo, it is not uncommon for emperor tamarins. The pregnancy and birth went smoothly for mother Amelie, who was also born at Racine Zoo in 2017.

The newborn twins mark the seventh and eighth offspring of Amelie and her mate Pitino in less than four years, bringing the total number of emperor tamarins born at the zoo to 16.

Racine Zoo is a partner in the Species Survival Plan for emperor tamarins, and tamarins born here now live in zoos across the country, from Arizona to Texas to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Species Survival Plans are cooperative efforts among AZA-accredited zoos to build sustainable, healthy populations of animals like these monkeys.

“This family has been very successful in helping build up the population of emperor tamarins in zoos, with newborns arriving nearly every year,” says Aszya Summers, Curator of Animal Care and Conservation Education. “The success of this breeding program is a testament to the expertise and hard work of our primate keepers and veterinary team, who work with the tamarins on everything from voluntary ultrasounds to voluntary crate training for exams. The bond the keepers share with these animals is truly inspiring, and the results of happy, healthy animals are clear.”

The twins are still very small at just two weeks old and can often be seen riding on mom and dad’s backs — and sometimes even their older sisters’ backs! If you want to see their adorable faces, visit soon, as emperor tamarins grow quickly and become more independent in no time.

Nooo, this isn’t a case of déjà vu…

Last month, Cleo and Priscilla welcomed another African crested porcupette, Daisy! The little one has been getting lots of attention from mom and dad behind the scenes, but she will soon make her public debut.

As members of the rodent family (the second largest, in fact), porcupines are no strangers to having multiple litters in a single year. Welcome, little one!

We had another Angolan colobus born on August 1 to mother Moshi and father Yoda!

All the females in the troop take turns caring for him, and he is already starting to show hints of black fur. Although the infant doesn’t have an official name yet, keepers have been referring to him as “Baby Yoda.”

Luna is the best boy mom! We always know Tupi is in good paws with her.

The newest little fella at the @indianapoliszoo is out and about.

Orangutans are critically endangered, and this birth is a conservation victory. The pregnancy was part of the AZA’s Orangutan Species Survival Plan.

May the 4th be with you! Star Wars Day is officially here, so of course we have to celebrate with our ring-tailed lemurs, who are almost all lovingly named after Star Wars characters. And this year is extra special.

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the family — Chewie!!

Chewie was born to mom Leia and dad Moose on April 9. She has been receiving lots of love and care from her parents, as well as her older brother Han and sister Wicket. The group can often be seen taking turns grooming the new baby girl and cuddling together for mid-day naps.

Chewie has reached the stage where she spends most of her time on either mom’s belly or back, observing the world around her. She has recently been spotted trying to climb and play with her cousin Finn.

The force seems to be strong with this one.

And the family grew!

On December 23 and 25, 2020, our Wildlife Conservation Center of the State of São Paulo (CECFau) celebrated the birth of two chicks of the species Anodorhynchus leari, commonly known as the Lear’s macaw.

This macaw species is found exclusively in Brazil and inhabits the Caatinga biome in the state of Bahia. It is currently classified as Endangered (EN) on Brazil’s official list of threatened wildlife species, with an estimated wild population of only around 1,700 individuals.

Lear’s macaws do not reproduce easily in captivity. After decades dedicated to improving husbandry and management techniques for the species, the São Paulo Zoo achieved its first successful breeding in 2015, marking the first recorded birth of a Lear’s macaw in a Brazilian institution.

Zoos play a direct role in the conservation of endangered wildlife, focusing on efforts to help reverse the process of extinction. These institutions conduct important research on species disappearing from the wild, carry out responsible breeding programs, and participate in conservation initiatives aimed at reintroducing animals into their natural habitats.

Little Rock Zoo is proud to announce the birth of a black rhinoceros calf to Andazi and Johari. The calf was born overnight, and both mom and baby are doing great.

Welcome to Adventure World Africa, little Lilith!

The watussi calf was born on the night of the 18th, and on 19.2 she was welcomed into the world.

Since yesterday, Lilith has been slowly getting to know the Afrikaans Kraal enclosure. Most of the time, visitors can see the little one from around 10 a.m. for about an hour, after which she returns to the stable area behind the scenes.

At Safari Park Dvůr Králové, we have quadruplets of a Berber female! The breeders first observed them at the beginning of the month, but only now we can confirm that there are four of them. For the first time, they have also managed to photograph them. The mother gave birth and raised them deep inside a burrow.

Only a handful of zoos in Europe have had successful births from females in the past year, and we are the only ones in the Czech Republic. What’s more, quite extraordinarily, this female gave birth twice in the past year. The year-old siblings of these young ones can be seen in the breeding enclosure. And now there are four!

What do you think of the little ones? And how about inviting them for a meal? As you can see, even the mice are trying to get a taste…

Happy #MeerkatMonday from our mob family at the Los Angeles Zoo to you!

Tapirtje Krissy is growing well and becoming more and more adventurous. Mama Pooh has her hands full… Every now and then, Krissy comes out from behind the scenes, although only for a short while, as it is still quite cold for her. It is warmer in Taman Indah, where you can admire her together with her mom.

At The Toledo Zoo, what better way to celebrate hump day than by introducing our baby camel!

At Dudley Zoo & Castle, baby Bornean orangutan Jim is celebrating his first International Orangutan Day — and what a year it’s been for us, marked by two recent additions to this critically endangered species and a brand-new outdoor enclosure for them to explore!

Join our primate keepers at the Orangutan House throughout the day, where you can learn more about the ongoing threats these magnificent creatures face in the wild, with habitat destruction for palm oil plantations being the biggest factor.

You can also find out how you can play your part in helping to save the species during our daily orangutan talk at 12:40pm.

Throughout the day, we’ll also be raising funds for the Sintang Orangutan Center in Indonesia, which we’ve pledged to support financially for five years. Activities include a “guess the name” game for a cuddly orangutan, as well as a raffle to win a meet-and-greet with our orangutans Djimat, Benji, Jazz, Sprout, Jim, and Joe.

We hope you’ll come and join us at the orangutan enclosure today!

Yesterday was Zoo Miami’s newborn giraffe’s exhibit debut, as she was introduced to the herd in the habitat for the first time!

Born on my wife’s birthday (August 23), this little girl already holds a special place in my heart. Although her mother, Sabra, was never far from her side, it was wonderful to watch the newborn cautiously explore her new surroundings and be welcomed by the rest of the herd.

This is the 57th giraffe born at the zoo, and I have been fortunate to be present for most of them. It never gets old!
