On Christmas Day, the Cincinnati Zoo announced the birth of a baby aardvark. In a social media post, the zoo showed off pics of the baby, along with the caption, "Peace on Earth! Ali the aardvark and her 4-day-old baby boy will spend the holidays cuddling and bonding behind the scenes." The newborn weighs around 3 pounds, which is normal for the species at this stage. According to the zoo, aardvarks, whose lifespan is around 10 years, will typically weigh between 88 and 143 pounds.
