What could be cuter than animal moms with their precious babies?
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to spend time with family outdoors and enjoy watching some of the zoo’s new mothers and animal families as they care for their young.
There are several new babies at the zoo. Katy the koala and her new joey are climbing trees in Australia and the Islands and TJ the tufted deer fawn is exploring his habitat in Asia Quest.
