Happy World Binturong Day! 🧡 Today is all about

Happy World Binturong Day! 🧡 Today is all about celebrating these incredible and unique animals AKA "bear cats".

Did you know that the Zoo participates in the "Quarters for Conservation" program, and that 25 cents from every general admission tickets is directly contributed to conservation efforts, both locally and globally? One of the conservation projects that we are currently donating to is ABConservation, an organization focusing on raising awareness of binturongs, as well as researching and protecting them.

Our binturongs Poppy and Ricky are currently behind the scenes as their habitat is being renovated with necessary upgrades and improvements! Stay tuned for updates.

🥕💥 Ramone couldn’t let the Crunch-a-Thon pass without submitting his cronches!

Ramone the howler monkey may not be a tree kangaroo, but his powerful cronches deserve some recognition too! 🙉

🍌 How many monkeys does it take to open a banana? Swipe to find out! 😆

Our golden lion tamarins were given an unpeeled banana for a delicious snack that doubled as enrichment! They had to work together to peel it open using their natural problem solving behaviors. The satisfaction on their faces once the banana was peeled and they were able to enjoy it was priceless! 👏🏼

Ellie is getting her flowers! 🌼 Keeper Courtney

Ellie is getting her flowers! 🌼 Keeper Courtney grew some dandelions for Ellie the takin as a special treat and a reminder of ‘No Mow May’!

‘No Mow May’ is a movement that encourages everyone to hold off on mowing their lawns in the early spring to prevent damaging dandelions and other flowers that provide nectar and pollen for hungry bees and other important pollinators. Mowing less allows for habitats to flourish and increases the diversity of wildlife. 🐝🌻🦋
