Junie looks so cute!

“If you do decide to head to the zoo and try to spot Junie, you might also want to head over to the pygmy hippo exhibit.

Last week the public got its first chance to meet baby Hugo.

Baby Hugo was born at the John Ball Zoo on September 3 to parents Penelope and Jahari.

Similar to Junie, the snow-leopard cub, Hugo the pygmy hippo has spent the past few months behind the scenes at the zoo with his mom bonding and learning how to do things on his own such as swimming.

If you do decide to visit before the zoo closes for the season, be prepared for it to possibly be busy as everyone wants their chance to see these two cute additions.
