If you've never seen a baby penguin waddle up to the water and then splash around, you'll want to suffer the heat in the next few weeks to see little Marina as she learns how to swim. She's one of four baby animals stealing the hearts of visitors to the Dallas Zoo. There is also a baby giraffe named Kipenzi whose birth was televised on Animal Planet, making her a viral star. Then, in Cat Row, you'll meet Mateo, a baby ocelot. Oh, and don't forget about the pounce baby Colobus monkey.

We stopped in this week to visit all the baby animals for this video.
