Wild Changes Underway

Thank you for your patience as we build new and improved habitats for our hippo and future rhinos. We can’t wait for you (and the animals) to see the result!

Welcome Our New Porcupette

There’s a new resident in the Small Mammals building!

Go Behind the Scenes of the Aviary

The Aviary has now reopened, but you can still follow along with all the happenings — new chicks, feedings, and more!

Spring Wild Connections Tours

Go behind the scenes and have an up-close encounter with the red river hogs, animals of the Aquatic & Reptile Center, and more!

New Residents at the Aquatic & Reptile Center

A giant Pacific octopus, frilled dragons, and a blue-tongued skink now call the Zoo home.

Who is who? Find out👇

There are 15 Humboldt penguins in our flock (9 males and 6 females):

Our male penguins are banded on the right, and females are banded on the left.

Jack (Green R) is our oldest penguin at 33 and Sully (Dark Blue R) is our youngest at 3.

The names above are in the color of their band. Next time you are here, see if you can find them all!

🚨Baby Alert!🚨
Meet the newest (and fluffiest) member of our family! 😍 A Bactrian camel was born to A.J. and Stan on habitat this past Sunday (4/20)! An exam was given on Monday to check overall health and weight, which was 99 lbs! Everything looks good and mom and baby are doing well.

Boy or girl? Guess and watch until the end! 💚
