Baby aardvarks look like tiny aliens Popkin 11:33 am Mon May 25, 2026 By Theo Kruse Burgers' Zoo - Aardvarken - Burgers' Zoo, CC BY-SA 4.0, Link Baby aardvarks look like little aliens. Their long snouts seem almost too big for their bodies, and their hairlessness makes them oddly endearing. The newborn one in this video will melt your heart. The sound they make is even more surprising than their appearance. Instead of anything fierce or wild, baby aardvarks tend to produce soft squeaks and little grunts. It's the kind of sound you'd expect from a toy that's just been squeezed. Holding a baby aardvark seems like its own form of therapy. Their little snouts and giant paws make me so happy. The cutie in the video is called "Baby Womble".
