We absolutely love it when the zoo residents become parents and in this case it took 3 pairs of adult green iguanas to produce this motherload of hatchlings. Greens, reds and albinos we’ll keep a few and the rest will head to other facilities whose owners share our passion for reptiles. It never gets old🥰

The ducks are like “ come on ostrich you can do it!”

Baby giants🥰
We’re opening the ostrich nursery this weekend starting on Friday where visitors can feed and touch the largest species of bird on earth. This is a rare and very unique experience so have those cameras ready you’ll want to capture the moment it’s very entertaining to say the least🤗
One of our dinosaurs on patrol this morning in his quest for some tasty snacks. This is a cassowary and like humans this beauty is an omnivore feeding on fruit, some veggies and small animals such as rodents,small birds, small reptiles etc. Come on by and see up close the scale covered legs and feet and you’ll see why these impressive creatures are often considered modern day velociraptors 😍
We are looking for trainees to join our small zoo crew. Must have reliable transportation, a strong work ethic and love animals. Call the zoo, message or pop in between Fri & Sun during business hours 10-5. If you’re interested in animal care, being a tour guide or just like the thought of designing and setting up enclosures then the Columbus Zoo west of Houston may just be the place for you. We look forward to meeting you and joining our team🤗
