What is sNOT gross and is actually a cool adaptation?

Stingrays are covered in a layer of mucus protecting their bodies from different ocean elements around them. This adaptation also makes their skin smooth, which improves their ability to swim!

Shine bright like a diamond 💎

With big, reflective eyes that help them see at nighttime, the word "lynx" comes from the Greek language meaning "to shine."

Hoooo is that beautiful boy? 🤍

Meet Jasper, the snowy owl! Found as far north as the North Pole down to northeast United States, snowy owls thrive in chilly climates.

Joining Vincent, the turkey vulture, in his Central Zoo habitat, Jasper has made his official debut at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. The last few days have been filled with curiosity and exploration of his new space. Be sure to say hello to Jasper on your next visit to the Zoo.

Blink and you'll miss it. 🦘 Is there anything more joey-ful than a joey popping its head out to wish you a happy ?

At around five and a half months, a joey will poke its head out of its mother's pouch, but only for short periods of time! As they get older, they will begin to hop out of the pouch to explore the world around it. Visit the Kangaroo Yard to learn more about the joeys in our care.
