A tamandua is a type of anteater with long snouts that can sniff out small insects like ants, termites and bee colonies. They can eat about nine thousand ants in a day.
Zoo officials said the mom and baby are both in good health and bonding.
The baby weighs nearly 350 grams, less than three-quarters of a pound.
