The baby kudu born on 10/20 has a name! Meet Maple! She’s doing great and keepers are continuing to do bottle feedings since mom, Sabi, isn’t nursing her. Maple is spending her time behind the scenes with Sabi and grandma Fjorda for now. She is healthy and gaining weight and vets are happy with where she’s currently at! She will be introduced to dad Hobbes in the near future!

Naked mole rat pile up!
The naked mole-rat and the Damaraland mole-rat are the only two mammal species that are eusocial (yew-SO-shul). This means groups have a very advanced degree of social organization—much the way bees and ants live.

Happy 16th Birthday to Tommy T. Several years ago National Geographic and a Hollywood action movie crew, filmed Tommy T in a way that had never been done before. Running cheetahs have been photographed using high-speed cameras but never had one been filmed with a high-speed camera moving alongside it at 50 or 60 miles an hour. It took awhile to get the shot because Tommy kept outrunning the camera! Pay special attention to how steady Tommy's head is the entire time he's running. It's one of the amazing adaptations of the cheetah.

Happy ! Lemurs are a type of prosimian, which means they are primates that evolved before monkeys and apes. Found in only one area on Earth—Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands—lemurs are considered the world’s most endangered group of mammals. 96% of lemur species, or 103/107 species, are facing extinction due to habitat loss & the illegal pet trade. One of the best actions you can take this World Lemur Day is to choose your pets wisely. Lemurs, like other primates, never make appropriate pets.

Lesser Kudu Calf Update: The baby is doing well. After careful observation of the mother, Sabi, and her calf, the veterinary and keeper teams decided to step in to ensure the calf receives essential nutrients. While Sabi showed some maternal instincts, the calf struggled to nurse, so the keepers are now assisting with feedings. The goal is to keep the baby with Sabi and her grandmother Fjorda, and later introduce her to her big sister, Maizy, and her father, Hobbes. The team is also giving the calf Sabi's plasma to ensure she has passive transfer of antibodies, just like Maizy received.

It's vampire season... vampire bat season that is. Yes, it's drinking blood. 🧛‍♂️ Out of nearly 1,400 bat species, only three are blood-feeding, or hematophagous: the common vampire bat, the hairy-legged vampire bat, and the whitewinged vampire bat.

Frankie the bat-eared fox is ready for bed. The bat-eared fox is a small, African fox known for its enormous ears, which are over 5 inches tall. The ears are full of blood vessels that shed heat to help keep the fox cool; they also give the fox a very good sense of hearing. This great video is brought to you by Great American Insurance Group
