I constantly see Cincinnati getting about 3-5 posts on Zooborns each zoo baby season but only one or even none for the more famous zoo's. Do they just not post about them? So far the zoo has had 24 births in 2012 (an okapi will most likely be born in December), about 27 for the season (late 2011-2012), and around 260 offspring in total. Within two years they have had 36 births, around 28 for the season, and around 280 total offspring. Does any other zoo top that?
 
Cincinnati has a very large collection, so they place high on the list for babies, but I'm sure some larger zoos do have more babies, but they don't post as often. The San Diego Zoo has an overwhelming collection of animals as well, and probably has had lots of babies, and the Bronx Zoo is very quiet about their births and they do lots of breeding with their reptiles behind-the-scenes, but honestly, one might not know, because even Cincy probably doesn't mention every single birth.
 
I think Minnesota Zoo has a high number of rare births this year

I was gonna say, any zoo with an ant colony will dominate individual births. Cincy and Saint Louis probably top that category with their massive insect houses.
 
Add a sifaka and red panda to the list and coming up an okapi and giraffe. Anyways is there any other zoo that majorly celebrates it?
