Well, only a mystery to us. The Denver Zoo posted a mysterious ultrasound asking animal lovers to guess what the little critter is!
We love babies!! We especially love baby animals! On Wednesday, January 10, the Denver Zoo posted a cryptic photo to their Facebook page. Of what, you ask? Well, if we haven't made it perfectly obvious already -- it was an ultrasound of the zoo's soon-to-be newest addition! https://www.facebook.com/DenverZoo/posts/10156209775032122 The post garnered a fair amount of attention from followers and animal lovers as to what the little beast may be. The answers ranged from genuine guesses and informed assumptions ...
To the more comedic responses you'd expect from the Facebook comment section ...
On Thursday, January 11, the Denver Zoo responded to your answers with actual footage of the ultrasound.
In their Thursday post, the zoo also included a few responses to commenter's guesses. According to the zoo, it is not an elephant (given all of the elephants are male), it's not a tiger (because Nikita is too closely related to Nikolai and Thimbu, and it is not recommended to breed them), and the baby is also not a giraffe (as all of the females are currently on birth control ... who knew?!).

The Denver Zoo will officially announce the species of animal on this mysterious ultrasound on Friday, around 9 a.m. Because who doesn't love starting their weekend with some wonderful baby news?!
What do you think this little critter is? We'd love to hear what you think!
