Excitable Red River Hoglet Born in Colorado Zoo

A newly born red river hog in Cheyenne Mountain Zoo had a serious case of the zoomies, footage posted by the zoo showed.

The zoo, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, released footage of the little hoglet excitedly running around and being nursed by its mother. The zoo said the hoglet was born on August 12 and its sex has not yet been identified. It is said to be in good health and has not yet been named.

Zookeeper Lauren Phillippi said: “We are over the moon with excitement for this little one. Red River hog babies are some of the cutest in the whole animal kingdom with their little stripes, tiny statures, and energetic behaviors.” Credit: Cheyenne Mountain Zoo via Storyful
