San Diego Zoo Welcomes First Aardvark Cub in Over 35 Years
https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/san-diego-zoo-welcomes-first-aardvark-cub-in-over-35-years/2916898/They are at risk due to human population growth causing loss of habitat.
The cub and her mother Zola will stay in off-view habitat for around two months to allow them time to bond.
"Zola is an excellent mother and nurses her cub frequently. The cub is developing quickly and has tripled her birth rate from just over four pounds to over 13 pounds in just five weeks," said Inserra.
When Zola is ready, she will bring her new cub out and guests will be able to visit them during a Wildlife Presentation at the Africa Rocks stage.
