This past weekend, we celebrated Earth Day in the most powerful way possible – together. Conservation partners across our community came out to share their passion and work, from protecting native species to educating the next generation of environmental stewards.

Shoutout to all the incredible organizations that joined us, including our Honolulu Zoo Society educators, who shared powerful stories about the fight against wildlife trafficking and what you can do to help.

When we come together, we make magic for wildlife. Let’s keep that energy going – not just on Earth Day, but every day.

Let’s Party for the Planet and make a difference all year long!❤️🌎

Mahalo to all the partners in conservation who came out for Party for the Planet.🤙🏼

🐣🌸 Happy Easter from all of us here at the Honolulu Zoo!
 
Rusti the orangutan, our playful baboons, curious meerkats, fennec fox, and so many more enjoyed a festive egg hunt today in celebration. With brightly colored eggs, crate paper decor, and baskets full of treats, this was a Sunday full of fun! 🦧🐒🦊
 
Enrichment like this encourages natural foraging behaviors and keeps our animals minds and bodies active. Plus, who doesn’t love finding Easter eggs and cracking them open to discover a yummy prize inside?

Happy Easter everyone.💜❤️💚

Rainy days = muddy paws and very muddy keepers! Keeper Sam isn’t letting the weather stop her from spending quality time with Grunt and Po, our African-crested porcupines. Training still happens—just with a little extra splatter! 🐾

Happy Save the Elephant Day! 🎉What better way to celebrate than with a mud spa day with our favorite duo, Mari and Vaigai 🐘💦Because let’s be honest—a dirty elephant is a happy elephant! 🐾 But did you know? That mud isn’t just for fun—it’s essential elephant skincare! 🧖‍♀️🐘 Mud acts like a natural sunscreen and insect repellent, protecting their sensitive skin from the sun and pesky bugs. So, when Mari and Vaigai cover themselves in the mud, they’re not just playing—they’re practicing serious self-care. 💅🌞
