Katara and Sokka have been adventuring out of their nest box! They are full of curiosity and becoming more brave as they explore. They have also started to share some tastes of solid food with mom Zan.

They are almost ready to be introduced to their public-facing habitat. We can’t wait for everyone to see them very soon- stay tuned! ❤️

We have the most perfect reason to celebrate International Sloth Day: a sweet new baby sloth has joined our Zoo family! 🦥

Born on October 11 to mom Fiona and dad Riley, this adorable newborn is resting comfortably and bonding behind-the-scenes.

Our team is keeping a watchful eye, but Fiona is doing a fantastic job, and both mom and baby are doing great. Please help us welcome this wonderful new addition! Join us in sending Fiona and her little one lots of love!

Oh my gourd! 🤯 We have a record breaking squash

Oh my gourd! 🤯 We have a record breaking squash on the Jack-O-Lantern trail. 🎃 Visitors to this year’s Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular will see something truly giant; a world-record-breaking squash weighing in at an amazing 2,200 pounds!

The massive squash was grown by local farmer Joe Jutras of Scituate, R.I., who has been partnering with the Zoo for years to provide pumpkins for the trail every fall. Jutras, a long-time competitive grower, holds multiple records for his Atlantic Giant pumpkins and squashes, but this year’s achievement tops them all.

“We’re thrilled to showcase Joe’s incredible world-record squash as part of this year’s Spectacular,” said Mike Finizza of Passion for Pumpkins, the Zoo’s partner for this annual event. “His dedication and skill have contributed to the event’s success for many years, and this record-breaking squash is the perfect addition to our show this year.”
