March 16 (UPI) -- The Hertfordshire Zoo in England announced the births of two elephant shrew pups -- the very first of their species to be born in Britain.
The zoo said the elephant shrews, also known as black and rufous sengis, were born to first-time parents Nuru and Mala on Feb. 23, and were discovered via CCTV cameras in the animals' enclosure.
The long-nosed babies, the first elephant shrews ever born in Britain, have been nicknamed "the Snootlets."
