A baby bateared fox was born one week ago today at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and is doing well in the care of the Zoo’s neonate specialists and animal care staff.
“The kit, a boy, is progressing well with bottle feeding. He sleeps a lot, which is normal, and makes adorable vocalizations when it’s feeding time,” said Cincinnati Zoo’s Animal Ambassador Team head keeper Samantha Villa. “His eyes are already open, and he is curious about his surroundings.”
In addition to meeting the kit’s nutritional needs, the team is spending time socializing him and making sure that he is comfortable with people. He will eventually become an ambassador animal, and visitors will see him in the Cheetah Encounter and at some events.
