Sensitive content

Zannzibar loves a good shell scratch 🐢 😃 Although less sensitive than their skin, turtles and tortoises actually have nerve endings in their shells and can feel when being touched!

Wilbur the binturong predicts a #Seahawks win in #SuperBowlLX 🏈 Since Wilbur started making predictions, he’s never been wrong, correctly calling the past two Super Bowls. Will he make it three straight?!

Paws for a sweet moment with Mayuree and mom, Niran 💕 📹 Keeper Elizabeth

Every mom knows the feeling 😂🐆

Our tortoises are snug and warm inside with plenty of scratches from their keepers ❄️🐢🥰

Azi continues sharpening her skills with encouragement from our Veterinary Team 😹

Our pudu fawn officially has a name… meet Gustavo! 👋 Voted on by our animal care team, Gustavo is a popular name in Argentina, part of the southern pudu’s native range and has meanings connected to greatness and royalty. A fitting name for such a tiny king!

Azi has a lot to say… Especially when it’s time for dinner!

Azi is purrfecting her technique 🐆 Clouded leopards are ambush predators that can hunt both in the treetops and on the ground. Most hunting is believed to happen on the ground, where they use stealth to stalk prey like monkeys, wild pigs and small deer.

Happy Father’s Day from Gustavo and his dad, Pacu!

Herd the news?! There's a new resident at the Zoo! 🐮 Meet Hamish, our newest (and fluffiest) addition to the Historic Farm—a Scottish Highland calf! At almost 7 weeks old, he’s already moo-ving at top speed with some serious zoomies on his first day out. 💨

Slow-mo Gustavo 😍

Azi's warming up before the big match! ⚽🐆 She's purr-fected her footwork and is ready to cheer on U.S. Soccer Men's National Team as they face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32!

Azi showcasing her climbing skills! Clouded leopards are mostly arboreal, with short, flexible legs, a tail nearly as long as their body for balance and ankles that rotate 180°, allowing them to climb down trees headfirst. 🐆🌳 📹 Veterinary Keeper Courtney

We can’t get over these new bombshells 🤩 Run, don’t walk, to meet our five new rock hyraxes at their habitat within Leopard Forest!

Paws for the cutest video you'll see all day 🥹

Hamish's first snow day = pure joy! ❄️ 🐮

Christmas came early for these clouded leopard cubs! 🐆🎁 Gemma, Meru, Joker and Quinn dove headfirst into their very first holiday enrichment and had some purr-fectly chaotic festive fun!
