It's hard to believe Crimson was just smaller than this squash! When he first arrived, 3-week-old Crimson was emaciated and unable to stand due to injuries to his back leg. He still has a long road of recovery ahead, but he’s come a long way. ❤️ 📸: Keeper Angela

Clover is making good progress, sound on for her tiny noises. 💚 When a kitten is found alone, it means the mother couldn’t return, often due to preventable human‑wildlife conflict. This is why protecting adult mountain lions is critical for the species’ future. 📸: Keeper Nikki

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Lola Tiger. Lola came to us in 2022, when Oakland Zoo participated in rescuing several large cats from an abandoned roadside zoo in Oklahoma, where they had been living in dismal conditions.

Paws for this big news CUBdate: Holly and Hazel are headed south to their "furrever home" at Big Bear Alpine Zoo this Wednesday. We will be sad to see this lovable pair go, but we are happy to have been able to save both of their lives, and that California Department of Fish and Wildlife chose a home they could go to together. Before they depart, we are helping these rapidly-growing rescued mountain lions continue to develop, both mentally and physically. Here's Holly, trying her first ever hard-boiled egg 🥚❤️ We'll let you know when the cubs are on their way to SoCal! 📹: Keeper Erin

Brother bonding, bear-style 🐻🐻 Did you know? Brown bears communicate by “gaping” or opening their jaw right in another bear’s face. It might look intense to us, but they use these behaviors to communicate their intentions and strengthen their bond. 💞 📸: Keeper Elizabeth

Last Friday, California Department of Fish and Wildlife brought us an orphaned mountain lion cub from El Dorado County. We have been nursing this emaciated little one, now named Clover, back to health.

On Sunday, California Department of Fish and Wildlife brought 3 orphaned mountain lion cubs to Oakland Zoo’s vet hospital. The trio, estimated to be about 3 months old, were found in Portola Valley. CDFW believes the mother of these cubs is the same female mountain lion that was killed by a car in the same area. The three siblings (2 males and 1 female), are thin but relatively healthy. Their care team at our veterinary hospital has given them the names Thistle, Spruce, and Fern (Fern is the female). In the wild, mountain lion cubs need about two years with their mother in the wild to learn survival skills. Because these cubs are so young, they lack those skills and sadly cannot return to the wild. Instead, we will work with CDFW to find these cubs a new forever home at an appropriate institution. While they are with us, we will take great care of these orphaned cubs, and, we will continue to take action to reduce human-wildlife conflict and make our shared living spaces safer for all animals.

Good morning sleepyheads! The brown bears have risen from their annual slumber (known as torpor) and can once again be seen swimming, wrestling, enjoying the sun, and generally being the big loveable floofs we love. The black bears are still sleeping but will be up soon 🐻

These silly boys and the black bears are entering torpor season, a winter sleep where they lower body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism to conserve energy. Though less visible from Nov-Mar, this supports their health and natural behaviors. 📸: Keeper Leslie

Little Miss Baby Klipspringer is thriving! 💫 She’s healthy, alert, and growing more confident every day. Adult klipspringers can leap an impressive 10 to 12 feet straight up, so it’s great to see her developing better balance and boldly exploring her habitat. 🤗

TBT to the recurring display of ferocity that rescued mountain lion cubs exhibit early in the rescue process. This sight indicates the cubs have energy to improve, and as their bonds with vets grow, behaviors like this dissipate. Who do you think was the most fierce?

The meerkat mob just got a little bit cuter! Sandy gave birth to her new pups in March and like a good meerkat mom, she kept them safely in the tunnels where the mob could easily keep an eye on them. The pups recently started emerging from the tunnels ready to explore! Father Chipe, mom Sandy, and siblings are doing a great job of keeping the pups warm and dry during our recent stormy weather. How many pups do you see in this video? 😍 📸 : Keeper Noelle
