The Mary H. Huse Africa Plaza is NOW OPEN at the Greenville Zoo!
Named in honor of the late mother of City Councilor Dorothy Dowe, Huse had a passion for conservation and loved animals. ❀️

πŸ¦’πŸ’ The popular Masai giraffes and Aldabra giant tortoises (Bubba and Mac) will share space with Brillo and Spike, a father-son duo of Cape porcupines. πŸ¦” An additional exhibit, currently β€œon paws,” awaiting new residents. 🐾

🐒 Hold on. We're coming! 🐒 The Greenville Zoo's Aldabra tortoises are on the move.
πŸ’ͺ🏽 So how do you move a 500-pound tortoise like Bubba?
a. Wait patiently
b. Lift with your legs and not your back
c. Crate training
d. Forklift

⬇️ Watch to find out.

P.S. The tortoises now have roomies. They'll be hanging out with our new Cape Porcupines Spike and Brillo.

πŸŽ€ We cut the ribbon on the new and improved Africa Plaza tomorrow!

πŸ‘» Setting a SPOOK-tacular record πŸ‘Ή with a MONSTER of a milestone. 🎟️ Prisma Health Boo in the Zoo at the Greenville Zoo sold more than 30,000 tickets.

πŸ§›β€β™‚οΈ Even more fang-tastic is the hard work of zoo staff to repair the props and light tunnel that were damaged in the microburst. The storms also required a total reset on the decor, but the result is eerie-sistible! πŸ•ΈοΈπŸ•·οΈ

Happy Halloween

πŸŽ‰ It's time for the BIG reveal. ▢️ WATCH to see the Greenville Zoo's new animal Irina emerge from behind the door. 🐾 Did you guess correctly?

‼️ SPOILER ALERT ‼️ DON'T READ BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU WATCH THE VIDEO. ⬇️

Due to our history of success breeding Amur Leopards, the zoo received 2-year-old Irina from the St. Louis Zoo. Her mate, a 1-year-old male, will arrive from Colorado in a few months.

After producing multiple healthy cubs to help repopulate her endangered species Jade is retiring to North Dakota.

Happy Halloween from Scar and the rest of us at the Greenville Zoo! πŸŽƒ
