August is here! Here are some updates and fun things we have planned this month
Happy National Tiger Day! Penari, the Malayan tiger, has been winning hearts with his love for river swims. Unlike most cat species, tigers actually enjoy the water. Whether they`re cooling off, hunting, or just having fun, these big cats truly know how to make a splash! 
This #NationalZookeeperWeek, we asked our teams what being a zoological care specialist means to them. From fulfilling childhood dreams to advocating for conservation, their commitment to animals and wildlife shines every day!
Celebrating #NationalZookeeperWeek by honoring the dedication of our amazing animal care staff! From fur, to fins, to feathers, our Zoological Care Specialists care for hundreds of animals every day. Thank you for your passion and commitment to saving wildlife.
