Africa Alive in Suffolk, has welcomed the birth of an aardvark, who was born to mother Boo and father AJ.

It is notoriously hard to distinguish the gender of an aardvark and it is therefore expected that the gender of this new arrival will be undetermined for a few months.

Although aardvarks are not endangered in the wild, they are also managed as part of a European Breeding Programme, showing a further step forward in the Zoological Society of East Anglia's commitment to conservation.
