Welcome Baby Grogu

The Memphis Zoo is thrilled to announce the birth of our newest family member, baby aardvark Grogu. Born on November 4, 2024 in our Animals of the Night exhibit, Grogu has already captured the hearts of our staff and visitors alike.

Grogu is the cherished offspring of our adult aardvarks, Sunshine and Boss. From his early days being hand-reared by our dedicated care team, Grogu has shown a wonderful personality that makes him one of our most charismatic residents.
