The Denver Zoo Has Another New Baby - Meet Scarlet the Kea

Millions of people around the world are anxiously awaiting the birth of a baby giraffe in New Jersey, and here in Colorado we just keep popping out all kinds of new babies under the radar.

Scarlet was hatched Feb. 8, and she’s one of only 38 keas in North America zoos.

Here is a video the zoo did to introduce you to Scarlet...
