It’s official—permits are approved for our new red panda habitat! We’re gearing up to break ground this April, and we couldn’t be more excited. Take a look at this incredible 3D rendering of what’s to come as we begin the transformation of historic Main Valley.
Baby chimp Ivy is on the move! Exploring her habitat, her curiosity never takes a break. 🐒
Rhinos and snow, now that’s a sight to behold! 🦏❄️ J.P. and Jelani were out exploring their frosty surroundings, leaving their tracks across the icy terrain.
We’re proud to shine a light on volunteer Matt Bronson, who recently traveled to Panama with Zoo staff to support the vital work of our conservation partners at EVACC Foundation! As an engineer, Matt’s specialized skills in construction were especially useful in making improvements to buildings that house critically endangered Panamanian golden frogs. ✨🐸
Who says animals can’t enjoy a snow day too? ❄️ Amur leopard Sofiya is full of energy as she leaps, pounces, and plays around in the chilly weather she loves the most.
IVY UPDATE: Take a stroll through Chimpanzee Forest and you might catch baby chimp Ivy out and about in the dayroom! 🐒 As she gradually gets introduced to the space, she’s spending time with other troop members, including Abby and Louie, who are keeping watchful eyes on her.
Pouched rats are more than just cheek-stuffers! APOPO’s HeroRATs live up to their name with their incredible landmine-detecting skills. Catch a live demonstration of their heroic work every Saturday at 2 PM!
Hooray, baby chimp Ivy is 6 months old today! 🎉
To mark this special milestone, we have a BIG update: Ivy has started spending time with the troop! She’s met several chimps, including playful youngsters Maisie and Lola. She’s also been spending lots of time with Abby, a female chimp who has grown especially fond of her.
