Beni’s top hobbies: chomping leaves and stealing hearts! ☺️ 🦌 Southern pudus are herbivores and love snacking on leaves, bark, fruit and flowers. 🌿

#tbt to tiny Chive Now over a year old, Chive is up to 132 pounds!

When you're smol but fierce! 🐆 P.S. Don’t worry, you’re not missing any sound - her ‘hisses’ were completely silent! We’ll definitely share it when she’s making noise!

Say hello to Huckleberry, our Javan ferret-badger! 👋 He’s been busy with ambassador animal training and is now popping up for surprise encounters in Unseen New World!

We can’t believe it either, Gemma’s grown so much! 🥹😻

Toe beans brought to you by Quinn! 😻

A #Caturday slow-mo moment. Look how big Joker is now! 😻

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!

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!

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?!

Slow-mo Gustavo 😍

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.

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

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

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

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. 💨

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!

Sweet dreams, Happy! 😴💛

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

Pouncing and ~leafing~ into #NationalCatDay with Gemma and Meru! 🍂🐆

Our New Year’s baby officially has a name! Happy the aardvark is here to kick off 2026 with extra cuteness. 💛

Another busy day at the biscuit factory for Wilbur the binturong!

Happy the aardvark boops to fight the Sunday Scaries 🥰

Grass zooms activated 🐷💨 Chive is starting leash training as he begins his journey to becoming an ambassador animal! He’ll eventually participate in animal encounters and walks around the Zoo to educate guests about red river hogs. 💛

Gemma’s trying her best to redecorate 😹 P.S. We are open on Labor Day, so be sure to visit and see all the clouded leopard cubs at the Veterinary Center!

Gemma and Meru are mastering the art of the seesaw.

Shenzi and Ed boops >>> 😍
