ZooBorns is a zoology news blog and book line that announces animal births at AZA, EAZA, CAZA, ZAA, and WAZA accredited zoos and aquariums. ZooBorns was founded in 2008 with the mission to "educate while it entertains",[1] and typically shares related conservation information along with pictures and video of baby animals.
ZooBorns showcases baby animals as ambassadors for their species in order to build empathy and awareness for the plight of those species in the wild.[6] Content is written to be accessible to a wide audience and typically provides background on individual animals followed by conservation information about the species. The site is notable for providing easily navigable categories enabling it to serve as a non-exhaustive survey of recent juvenile animals at zoos and aquariums. As of May 2012, the site had documented over 1,250 births, comprising over 200 species from over 200 different zoological institutions.[7]

ZooBorns was recognized as a 2012: American Library Association's Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Readers [10] and ZooBorns!Zoo Babies from Around the World was a 2011–2012: Keystone to Reading Book Award Nominee.[11]
