A baby aardvark was born in Antwerpen zoo in Belgium two weeks ago. The creature, also known as an earth pig, is characterised by a long nose and powerful feet that allows him to dig deep, long tunnels to look for ants and termites. Nuru, which means 'light' in Swahili, is only the 10th baby aardvark born in the zoo in more than 50 years Source

The cutest zoo animal on the planet
Her name is "Roxaane" with two A's (as in "aardvark"), in keeping with her mother's name, "Rachaael". The adorable baby – whose name means “bright star” – was born Jan. 8, 2011, at the Detroit Zoo.
A web feature with video and photos of Roxanne can be found on the Detroit Zoo’s website at www.detroitzoo.org/roxanne. The baby aardvark will be seen with her parents and sister along with the Zoo’s other aardvark, 1-year-old male Erdferkel, in their African Grasslands habitat this spring.
