HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) When looking back at 2020, it s not surprising that many of us are looking for something to lighten the mood. Fortunately, the Houston Zoo shared some of the cutest reasons to celebrate, spreading their adorable baby animal cheer! Here are a few of the animals they welcomed to the herd since last spring.
March 31: Traci, Giant Anteater
The zoo welcomed a male giant anteater baby on the evening of March 31 to mom Olive. Giant anteaters spend the first few weeks of life clinging to their mothers and will typically hitch a ride on mom s back for almost 12 months. Even though he s almost as big as Olive at nine months old, Traci can still be found on her back sometimes at the zoo s newest addition, South America s Pantanal.
