Fritz is already 3 years old and almost 2,000 pounds! Male hippos are typically much larger than females. Their large tusks, which never stop growing, are not used for eating, but rather for fighting.

The Asian small-clawed otter pups are bonding with their family behind the scenes until they work on their water skills! Even though they spend a LOT of time in the water, ASCO pups aren’t born knowing how to swim and actually have to be taught by their parents!

Today is Lazzie's 25th birthday. She is the oldest little blue penguin in the world! In the wild, life expectancy is less than ten years. It's less than 20 in managed care. The excellent care that she receives from Team Bird has certainly extended her life!

Tippi the crow is very smart. There are treats in the paper towel tubes and she knows if she dunks them in her water, it makes the cardboard softer and hence easier to manipulate to get to the food inside!

Snack time with Rico the porcupine! Spending most of its time in the canopy, the Brazilian porcupine is an expert climber. Large curved claws, bare soles and a prehensile tail help the large rodent grip branches as it moves through the trees.

Squirmy, silly Fritz! Hippos can't actually float or swim. They push off the bottom and propel themselves to the surface for air.
