- Meet Taylor Swift, the Caribbean reef octopus! She was named after @taylorswift13 because she arrived on Taylor’s birthday, December 13th. You could say this species is a mastermind thanks to their great problem-solving skills & high intelligence. Find her in the Aquarium!

00:00- Help us wish Mickey, a macaroni penguin, a very happy hatchday. 🎉She is 39 and the oldest penguin in our Aquarium. We celebrated with a special ice cake!
00:00 - We are happy to report that both mom and her baby, born on May 25, seem to be doing quite well! When Mom is comfortable with it, our veterinary staff will do a full health check-up, but in the meanwhile they are closely monitoring the two. #zooforall

- We have 2 giant anteaters and 2 bath tubs. Tapas usually takes her warm bath alone. This time though, her mate, Kaboom, wanted to join her! These animals are able to defend themselves against jaguars, so they're actually being quite gentle with each other. 🛁💕 #weekendvibes
00:00 - Our two American beaver parents, Alice and Patch, really have their paws full! Alice recently gave birth to 7 beaver kits. The little ones are spending most of their time inside their den with their family, but they grow quickly and they'll soon be exploring outside!
00:00 - It’s a snow day! Our red pandas are climbing, exploring, and snacking in the snow. ❄️
