- Hold your breath for this announcement... Saban went swimming! One of our soon-to-be staff members, Brookelynn, caught this monumental moment on Monday afternoon! She spent over an hour waiting for Saban to take the plunge and with some encouragement, he finally did!

- If not friend, then why friend shaped? ๐ฑ While sand cats are typically smaller than domestic cats, they prove their might by navigating the harshest desert environments. They have thick fur on the bottom side of their paws, protecting their toe beans from the desert sand.

00:00 - Meet Jessie, our maned wolf! While she may look like a fox with long legs, genetic studies show that her species is neither fox nor true wolf, but its own distinct species! You can often smell her before you see her due to her powerful urine aroma that smells like a skunk ๐ง
00:00 - Guess who's back! Beaker is back out on the Tropics Trail! He is the newest resident in the former jaguar habitat across from the greater one-horned rhinos. Stop by and say hi during your next visit!
00:00 - We have another exciting announcement! Earlier this week, we welcomed two secretarybirds into their new home on Predator Passage! The brother sister duo, named Stan (male) & Risha (female) arrived from Abilene Zoo & are in the new habitat next to the Rรผppellโs griffon vultures.
