An aardvark has been born at Chester Zoo for the first time in the charity’s 90-year history.
Conservationists at the zoo were 'overjoyed' to discover the new arrival snuggled up with mum Oni and dad Koos after it had been born overnight on January 4.
The calf is currently being hand-reared every evening by zookeepers who are providing dedicated care, feeding the baby every few hours through the night for around five weeks, to help it gain strength.
