All the Adorable Zoo Babies You Can See at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden in May

It's May, and at the Cincinnati Zoo, that means Zoo Babies!

All month long, the zoo will be celebrating their youngest residents, including new bundles of joy like their bat-eared fox kits, penguin chicks and, of course, Fritz the hippo.

“The most talked about baby this year is Fiona’s little brother Fritz,” said Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard. “He’s most definitely one of the cutest, but there are some rare little ones that are well worth checking out. Swing by the Reptile House to see Aruba Island rattlesnakes, a crocodile skink, and Pascagoula map turtles.”

Other babies include two giraffes, a bonobo, a cheetah, three manatees, a rhino, a gila monster, a three-banded armadillo, an orchid mantis and a thorny devil walking stick. Expectant mothers Lightning the sloth, Stevie the bongo and Kuvua the okapi are also being highlighted this May. Maynard says there are big signs to help you find the expectant moms and babies.

The zoo is also celebrating human moms this month. On Mother's Day, May 14, moms can get into the Cincinnati Zoo for free.
