SAN DIEGO — An aardvark cub born at the San Diego Zoo is said to be doing well and developing quickly.
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance says the female cub was born May 10 and will nurse from mother Zola for about six months.
It's the zoo's first aardvark birth in nearly four decades.
The long-eared, hairless cub does not have a name yet, and will remain out of view of zoo visitors for about two months as she bonds with her mother.
Aardvarks are native to sub-Saharan Africa.
They are nocturnal and have long, sticky tongues to slurp up ants and termites.
