Here's some highlights:

Aurora the Bornean Orangutan, Houston Zoo Baby orangutans cling to their mothers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Since baby Aurora was rejected by her mom after birth, 50 zoo employees and volunteers are taking turns holding her round the clock.


Brute the Giant Anteater, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens As tough as his name may be, he's pretty tender, clinging to mom Stella-Abril's tail—standard behavior for these little guys—while dad Killroy looks on


Akoni and Safara, the Red River Hogs; Cheyenne Mountain Zoo The new hogs—endangered in their native Africa—are learning how to root, wallow, and squeal.


Daniel the Masai Giraffe, Santa Barbara Zoo Zookeepers got a major shock on an early January morning when they discovered that Audrey the giraffe—who hadn’t shown any obvious signs of pregnancy—had delivered a calf, weighing 106 pounds and standing 5'9" at birth.
