When it finally snows, a little frolicking is in order! Bison fur is very well insulated and along with thick skin and layers of fat, they stay warm even during snowy conditions. Come springtime, they’ll shed their wooly layer of fur. 📸batkinson

In this video, Keeper Brian gives a tasty fruit bowl that he prepared to the palm nut vultures. The avocado was their favorite part of the treat! Unlike most vultures that scavenge meat from dead animals, palm nut vultures are mostly vegetarian. (1/2)

We are very excited to announce the recent birth of a Przewalski’s horse foal! Also known as Mongolian wild horses, this species was once extinct in the wild, but populations from several sources, including zoo-bred animals, were reintroduced in China in 1989 & Mongolia in 1992.

The weather may be unpredictable this time of year, but take a tip from this tiger & get outside & explore! Amur tigers are adapted to the cold & snow & can thrive in temps as low as -40°F. They have thicker fur than other tigers, & more body fat, which acts as insulation.(1/2)

Some of our American flamingos return to the Children's Zoo marsh every spring after spending the winter in their heated off-exhibit area. Skill and care are required to carry a flamingo as their long legs and broad wingspan make handling them tricky. (1/3)

Our first bison calf of the season is doing great! Currently weighing around 60 lbs, the calf is tiny compared to the adults, who weigh between 1500—2200 lbs for a male and 900—1200 lbs for an adult female. She is settling in well with the herd while staying close to mom.
