Are there any zoo babies or at your zoo that were born this year (or came to your zoo this year)?

Beardsley hasn't had any major births that I'm aware of, a big reason because it's a small zoo. However, I do think I saw some Ringed Teal ducklings in February. However, I can't remember if this is true or not. Some notable babies last year are:
Brazilian Ocelot
Born: January 22, 2011
Gender: Female
Name: Alya. I'm sure you'd like her Moebelle, considering that the Cincy Zoo's CREW worked closely with Beardsley to artifcially inseminate her mother, Kuma.

Pronghorn
Born: July 2011
Gender: Male
Name: W a n k e r

Chacoan Peccary
Born: October 2011
Gender: Female
Name: Still unnamed. She'll most likely be named through a naming contest like Beardsley has done with their two ocelot babies.

Yacare Caimans
Born: October 2011
In addition, there were Guinea Hog piglets last year. This year, there will be the annual birth of piglets for sure. In addition, they're trying to breed their Golden-Lion Tamarins again. They're also getting their Amur Tigers ready to breed.
