CHICAGO — The Lincoln Park Zoo welcomed 11 new babies in October: seven piglets born Monday and four dwarf mongoose pups born Oct. 7, zoo president Kevin Bell announced.

The piglets are a Mangalitsa breed known for its long, curly hair, and can be seen at the Farm-in-the-Zoo as they grow out their current short, gray tufts.

The mongoose pups are the second litter for the family this year, and can be seen being carried around by older siblings at the Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House.
