DCist got word that the National Zoo discovered a second baby elephant shrew, adding to the birth at the beginning of the month. According to our tipster, zoo attendee Luke Berndt, zookeepers who found the baby animal yesterday were surprised, but that shouldn’t be a surprise to you — elephant shrew births are rare and sometimes elude keepers and moreover just happened here. I count two noses in that picture, one looking quite a lot younger than the other. Apparently, keepers are considering taking the baby out of the exhibit for a bit because the baby is so young.
