We’re shell-ebrating the arrival of an adorable baby armadillo at Toledo Zoo! 🎉 Meet the proud Southern three-banded armadillo parents: Kris (dad) and Honeybee (mom)! This is Honeybee’s first pup, and while we don’t know the baby’s gender yet, we’re rolling with excitement for our newest addition. When this little one was born, it was the size of a golf ball. In just three weeks, it’s already grown to the size of a baseball—gaining 90-100 grams per week! This pairing was part of the Species Survival Plan (SSP) and we’re thrilled to share a successful result from this breeding recommendation. Both mom and baby are thriving and receiving routine checks from our keepers. The armadillos currently reside in the Aviary and aren’t viewable just yet, but we’ll keep sharing updates on their progress. Stay tuned!
