Come Meet the Cincinnati Zoo's Adorable Babies This May

It’s gonna be May, and that means it’s time to meet the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s newest, adorable bundles of joy. Zoo Babies runs the entire month of May and this year will feature a baby sloth, okapi, bongo, opossum, cape porcupine, three manatees and more.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome these adorable Zoo Babies to our ever-growing zoo family," Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard said in a press release. "They serve as ambassadors for their species, inspiring everyone to care for and protect wildlife and their habitats."

Some babies, like Kal the bat-eared fox, are too young to be viewed, but will hopefully appear this summer, says the zoo.

On Mother’s Day, the zoo is offering moms free admission.
