The Nashville Zoo welcomed some tiny new additions after its first-ever aardvark calf was born at the facility on New Year's Day.
On Monday, the Nashville Zoo announced the birth of a baby aardvark — called a calf — that weighed approximately four pounds and was described as being "roughly the size of a rolling pin." Aardvark births in zoos are rare — the last aardvark born in a zoo was born in 2024.
