Our baby armadillos don’t look much like babies anymore! Their shells have hardened and changed color from pink to grey.

Say hello to Zephyr, our new male serval! 👋🏼

Say hello to Zephyr, our new male serval! 👋🏼 This handsome 14-month-old serval came to us from Greensboro Science Center, an AZA facility in North Carolina as a breeding recommendation for our female, Velma.

Named after Zephyros, the Greek god of the West Wind, Zephyr was born on the first day of spring and brings all the fresh energy that comes with it! 🌸🌀

We’re thrilled to welcome Zephyr to his new home, and are excited for what the future may hold for him and Velma! 💛🐾

When you are trying to camouflage yourself but you

When you are trying to camouflage yourself but your adorable ears are too big to hide! 🫣

Bat-eared foxes use a combination of physical features and behaviors for camouflage. Their sandy / grayish fur color blends well with the landscape and their raccoon-like face markings make them harder to see from a distance. They are also known for digging extensive systems of burrows and tunnels, providing them with safe places to hide and escape from predators!

🐧 Feeding time! 🐟 Did you know our penguins

🐧 Feeding time! 🐟 Did you know our penguins are all individually hand-fed? Penguins are hand-fed for several reasons!

1. Hand-feeding allows keepers to build positive relationships and trust with the penguins.
2. It allows keepers to closely monitor their health, appetite, and well-being.
3. It ensures that each bird gets enough food, and allows keepers to provide any special supplements or dietary needs for each individual bird.
