Baby Animals (30 minutes in length)

by Saint Louis Zoo

One of the most exciting things at a zoo is when babies are born! In this program, we'll be introduced to some of the babies that have been born at the Saint Louis Zoo, via recorded videos. We'll also learn how animals and keepers care for the babies at the Zoo. This interactive program includes games and a visit with live Zoo animals.

Please note: This program discusses baby animals and due to the sensitive needs of these animals, we will be viewing videos of them. The live animals we meet will be ones that were born at the Zoo, but are now adults.
