🌟 National Zookeeper Week Spotlight! 🌟
Today, we’re delighted to introduce you to Noah Mitchell, one of our amazing zookeepers who turned his childhood dream into reality! 🐻🦒🦁
From a young age, Noah was passionate about animals and always dreamed of becoming a zookeeper. After years of hard work and dedication, he joined our zoo family in June. Noah’s favorite animal is the Rhino. His enthusiasm and dedication shine through in everything he does, from caring for the animals to educating our visitors about wildlife conservation.
Thank you, Noah, for following your dream and sharing your passion with all of us. Your love for animals and commitment to their well-being is truly inspiring!

Bagheera wants to challenge everyone to head outside today and enjoy playing in the nice weather!
Oyster, our American Black bear, is enjoying this August day with a dip in the pool! How do you beat the heat?
On days that are super hot, our animals beat the heat by coming indoors with the air conditioner, so they may not be as visible! The best time to visit the zoo is when the temps are cooler! Most of our animals tend to take their afternoon naps starting at noon, due to them needing to conserve energy!
Be sure to stop by and visit Amarillo Zoo’s own three little bears, Mesa, Oyster, and Truffles! The zoo is open 7 days a week from 9:30am to 5:00 pm
The results are in and we want to talk about our newest bison.... Bruno! Thank you to those who particpated in the naming contest. More details will come when Bruno will be on exhibit!
Bear Zoomies
Come out and see Truffles and Oyster chase each other like we did with our siblings.
Why are you acting like a cute house cat when you are an apex predator?

Amarillo Zoo - Solomon’s Morning Roars
We love Solomon’s morning roars!
African lions roar to establish their pride’s territory, and to communicate with their pride. Solomon roars about 2 or more times a day. Have you heard him roar when you visited the zoo?
Hampton, the bobcat, is ready to swing into the weekend! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday from Dudley, the pot-bellied pig! Enjoy these pig kisses!
