Look who wool-y needed a haircut! ✂️ Our alpacas and sheep had their annual shearing just in time for the warm weather!

A huge thank you to Erin from @sepefarm for the incredible care and expertise given to our animals during their shearing. Erin, along with our keepers Lauren, Gabe, and Alec, created a stress-free environment ensuring that our animals were comfortable and safe during their shearing. Now they are all ready for a cool summer! ☀️

Our team is all geared up and excited to welcome guests for Spring Break next week! ☀️🦒🌿🐞 We are so ready for sunny days and your smiling faces. 😎

P.S. While you are here, don’t forget to stop by the Big Backyard for some nature play, experience A Bug’s World, and grab a cold refreshing Del’s Lemonade!

Whether they’re snow leopards or house cats, we all want our feline friends to live long, adventurous lives! 🐱 We’ve teamed up with @petmedic.warwick to show you how to keep your cats enriched while protecting local wildlife.

PetMedic often sees injuries and illness tied to outdoor exposure - trauma, bite wounds, and tickborne disease. The good news? These are largely preventable! You can satisfy your cat's craving for exploration without the risks. Swipe to see how to create a safe, stimulating environment for your pet! A favorite solution is a Catio - a secure, enclosed outdoor space where cats can enjoy the fresh air without facing hazards or harming local songbirds. It’s a win for both your pet and backyard conservation. 🐈‍⬛🐦

Want to see one in person? Visit the Zoo to check out our new Catio, meet our four resident cats, and get some inspo for your own home! In the meantime, if you have any concerns about your cat’s health, head over to our friends at PetMedic for expert care.
