Henry Doorly Zoo Has Baby Beavers to Show Off

henry-doorly-zoo(AP) — Omaha’s zoo has a pair of baby beavers to show off.

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium announced Friday that two beaver babies called kits are venturing around the Kingdoms of the Night exhibit. They were born on July 27 and have spent most of their time in the beaver lodge of the nocturnal exhibit’s swamp area.

The kits’ sex is unknown because keepers have not touched them. The creatures join the zoo’s beaver colony, which consists of two females and two males.

Officials say beaver kits are born fully furred. Their eyes open within an hour after birth.
