Meet the baby beavers new to the Pittsburgh Zoo

Baby Beavers at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium

The Pittsburgh Zoo debuted six new Beaver kits, Thursday.


The Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium introduced six baby beavers to the public Thursday.

Brennan, Bucky, Busy, Timber, Beverly and Barney made their Pittsburgh debut.

The baby beavers, called kits, had a quick medical exam before Henry Kacprzyk, curator of Kids Kingdom and reptiles at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, announced their names.

The kits were born in late June to Patch and Alice, the zoo’s adult beavers. The kits can be found at the Kids Kingdom at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG aquarium in Highland Park.
