More than 350 babies have been born at Cotswold Wildlife Park from 50 different species!

The park is home to around 1,500 animals from 250 different species, making it one of the largest zoological collections in the UK.

Some of the new arrivals include a giant anteater pup, Colobus monkeys and naked mole rats!

Staff at the zoo are celebrating the arrival of the rare babies.

The giant anteater pup has been named Zena, after members of the public could vote online.

Zena is the third pup to be born from her parents: Zorro and Zeta.

"We are extremely proud of her here at the Park and it is great to see another healthy baby growing rapidly and exploring her surroundings from the safety of her mother's rather formidable back!" said Jamie Craig, the curator of Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Anteaters are thought to be one of the most threatened mammals of Central America and there are thought to be only around 5,000 left in the wild.
