She is adorable and yet wonderfully funny looking, it's 'Maria' the newest member of the Buffalo Zoo's M &T Bank Rainforest Falls.  A Giant Anteater, Maria is ready to make friends.

She comes all the way from the Santa Barbara Zoo in California, so she could probably use some visitors.

Channel 2 writes,

Zoo officials say Maria's settling in nicely in her new home.  She will share the anteater habitat with the resident older male anteater, Haji, but the two will not be out together. For now, Maria will have access in the mornings and Haji in the afternoon.

Since Maria turns two tomorrow, might be nice to stop by and wish her a Happy Birthday!  Zoo officials say she is ready to meet new friends.
