Baby boy aardvark at the Cincinnati Zoo needs a name - any ideas?

CINCINNATI — A baby boy aardvark was born a few days before Christmas at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

The zoo is now asking for the public's help to name the baby born Dec. 21 to Ali, and to submit your suggestions via social media on the zoo's Facebook and Twitter pages.

Our baby boy aardvark born on Dec. 21 needs to start off 2018 with a name. Any suggestions?

Aardvark, which means “earth pig,” in South Africa, is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to Africa.

The newest addition to the zoo family weighed a little over three pounds at birth, the zoo reported, which is normal.

It doesn’t get much cuter than a 5 day old baby aardvark taking a nap. Ali and her new baby boy are cuddling and bonding behind the scenes at this time.
