Cuteness alert: The Denver Zoo has welcomed a newborn otter, baby golden lion tamarins and a new giraffe.
The Denver Zoo has welcomed a trio of new arrivals from three different species this summer, including a newborn baby otter, golden lion tamarins and a giraffe.The new family of otters are to “stay behind the scenes” in their den box for a few weeks until the newborn pup gains the ability to open his eyes and move on his own, the zoo says.
According to Jake Kubié, a spokesman for the zoo, the otter dad is named Pintar, and the mother is Bu, though the newborn “does not have a name yet, but we are working on that. Hoping to finalize it next week.” The day after he was born, the otter weighed in at 59 grams. By the tenth day since his birthday, he clocked in at 166 grams. The zoo say he “easily fits in a human hand.”
