Chester Zoo: Rare giant anteater birth boost for species, experts say

The birth of a rare baby giant anteater is "incredibly positive news for the species", Chester Zoo has said.

Its arrival, only the third of its kind in the zoo's 92-year history, is part of an international breeding programme.

Giant anteaters, which are native to Central and South America, are considered vulnerable to extinction with numbers declining in the wild.
