While we hope that moose calves will stay with their mamas in the wild, we are proud to care for them when biologists bring them to us as orphans in need. And they are amazing, resilient, and of course…adorable 🥰 📸 Zoo Husbandry Intern Michelle. #alaska #championsofthewild #anchorage #wildliferescue #weloveanimals #alaskalife #nonprofit #alaskazoo #thealaskalife #moosecalf #orphanedwildlife #injuredwildlife

Kova and Cranbeary spent a little time behind-the-scenes this morning while their pool was cleaned. They wrestled in the green grass in the back area.

Happy 1/2 birthday to black bears Zayk (21yo) and PW (3yo)! 🎂 Why a half birthday, you ask? Black bears are born mid-winter in dens and the Alaska Zoo black bears spend their winters napping in their zoo den. If we want to give them a birthday treat, we have to do it in the summer when they’re awake! Our zookeepers always go the extra mile for the animals, providing them with amazing enrichment. Thank you to Zookeeper Sarah for these videos, pictures and enrichment treats! ❤️🐾 #alaska #championsofthewild #anchorage #wildliferescue #alaskalife #weloveanimals #nonprofit #alaskazoo #nature #thealaskalife #blackbears #happybirthday

Meet our newest zoo resident, a male moose calf who arrived on May 19th with Alaska Department of Fish and Game - Official biologists after his mother was hit by a car. We will be keeping him here at the Alaska Zoo (currently in the right outdoor infirmary pen with indoor access). We look forward to watching him grow up ❤️ He has a temporary nickname by staff (Orlando), but his official name will be chosen by a lucky bidder at our Champions of the Wild Gala to be held on June 27th at the zoo. Gala ticket purchases help to support care expenses during our busy orphaned wildlife season. https://alaskazoo.betterworld.org/events/2024-champion-wild-alaska-zoo-gala 🐾 Zoo hours are 9-6 (we close at 5 on 5/23 for an event).
