Frida the Fierce: Berlin Zoo's Rare and Radiant Aardvark Piglet!
Female Piglet Offspring Affirmed, Denying Possibility of Male Progeny - No progeny of Friedrich-Erdferkel is identified as female.
Say hello to Frida! The latest addition to the Berlin Zoo has got everyone buzzing. This lively and healthy little aardvark lass, born on April 9, 2025, is none other than the first female piglet in 13 years at this zoo.
Frida is a real VIP. She's the offspring of the proud parents, Memphis and Kito, who've taken their parenting duties seriously. Although the details about Memphis and Kito aren't widely available, it's clear that they've experienced a significant success with Frida's birth, being instrumental in the rare birth of this specially bred animal in captivity.
Considering female aardvarks are hard to come by in zoos, Frida's arrival has made headlines as a symbol of the zoo's dedication to species conservation. It's a remarkable feat that this resilient little rogue is the first female in over a decade, showcasing the zoo's quality care and commitment to these unique creatures!
But what's a day in the life of an aardvark piglet like at Berlin Zoo? Frida, like her nocturnal brethren, is snoozing while we're wide awake, causing Pavlovian responses from zoo visitors. It's only once the sun disappears that we can catch a glimpse of Frida's ant and termite-seeking escapades, as her daytime slumber is traded for spry, nighttime adventures!
