The Sacramento Zoo's newest addition is a baby Giant anteater. This little one was born on March 9th to Amber, the female and Beata, the male anteater. This is the third birth for Amber and the first for Beata. It is the first Giant anteater birth in the Saramento Zoo's 83-year history. The mother and baby will be off exhibit for a couple of weeks while the baby gets strong enough to hold on to mom and explore the exhibit.
The baby was brought to the veterinary hospital a few hours after birth when the Zoo staff determined it needed medical attention. In the above photo the baby is being hand-fed and the photo bellow, the baby is warmed in an incubator. Less than 24 hours later, the baby was reintroduced to its mother and is doing verywell.
