Baby Giant Anteater

Baby anteater, Annie, made her appearance on November 19, 2008, after a 190 day pregnancy. Mom, Ellie, and Dad, Frankie, are the proud parents. Ellie is a great Mom - Baby Annie is her 12th baby. Annie and Mom will be on exhibit, depending on the weather.

UPDATE! 2/18/09
Baby Annie is beginning to leave mom's back to explore on her own.

The Mob is Here!

After a long trip from South Africa, a mob of slender-tailed meerkats now make their home at Caldwell Zoo. You'll find them in the exhibit between lemurs and penguins.

We know you’ll “dig” these foot-tall bundles of fur.
