Zoo officials are awaiting DNA test results to determine the sex of its newborn aardvark, Amani (Swahili for "peace"), born at 1:05 a.m. Dec. 8 to mother Rachaael and father Mchimbaji.
The 23-inch infant arrived hairless, weighing 3 pounds, 10 ounces, with ears measuring 4 inches. "This baby can only be described as hideously cute," said Director of Conservation and Animal Welfare Scott Carter. "Rachaael is a first-time mother and is showing great maternal instincts."

With those ears, Amani could be our next president.
