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

Mayuree’s favorite toy is mom’s tail 😅 📹 Keeper Elizabeth

Mayuree’s balancing act didn’t go quite as planned 😂 Don’t worry, she’s fine, only her ego took a little tumble!

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!

Hanging with Wilbur the binturong 🤩

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?!

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!

Welcome to Nashville’s hottest neighborhood: Guinea Pig Village 🐹🏘️🤩 Zero traffic, unlimited snacks and top-tier amenities.

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

Fall is officially here 🐆🎃 So we're throwing it back to Joker and Quinn letting the gourd times roll!

Will exercise for snacks 🦎😅 Lil Sebastian the Komodo dragon is getting some snacktime enrichment around his habitat with a little help from Zookeeper Cayton and a few tasty treats.

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

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

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

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!

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. 💨

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.

Mayuree is still purrfecting her hunting skills 😅

Mei Lee and Bo noms! 😋

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

Every mom knows the feeling 😂🐆

Miso, Matcha and Mei are settling in and already stealing hearts 🐒💛

Paws up for #InternationalCloudedLeopardDay 🐆🙌

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!

Shenzi and Ed boops >>> 😍
