These are some of the cutest baby animals born at Edinburgh Zoo.
Founded in 1913, the Edinburgh wildlife park has been the birthplace to hundreds of newborn animals over the years. The most recent arrival was announced last month, after a tiny L’Hoest’s monkey was born.
Here are 12 pictures of newborn animals born at Edinburgh Zoo in recent years.
