Shrewd Baby Shrew

Keepers at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., were surprised when they counted three black and rufous giant elephant-shrew in their exhibit instead of two! The female elephant-shrew in the exhibit probably gave birth to the new baby in January. The baby elephant-shrew is doing well and can be seen in the National Zoo's Small Mammal House.

See a video of the baby and learn more about the new elephant-shrew on the National Zoo's website.
