Belle - keeping things cool with a little mud bath.

Elephants use mud to protect their skin from the sun. The mud will also help keep them cool.

How do you give an anaconda that weighs 110 pounds and is over 14 feet long an exam? With a well-organized animal care team!

Earlier this year, Olive got a full exam, including her eyes, skin, and reproductive system (using the ultra sound).

While everyone was in place, the animal care team took this opportunity to get blood samples for routine testing and our grounds team did some spring cleaning in her habitat while she was in hand. 💚

Happy World Snake Day!

Giraffes don’t have horns or antlers, they have ossicones.

Ossicones are formed from cartilage that turns to bones as they age. Horns have a bone base and are covered in keratin.

Ossicones are covered with skin and usually hair, horns do not have skin or hair.
