When was the last time you stopped to enjoy a full-body mud spa day?! 🐢✨

Our Galápagos tortoises absolutely love the chance to get a little dirty and have a good wallow. That muddy soak isn’t just fun—it’s fantastic for their health! Mud helps keep their skin hydrated, protects against sun exposure, supports shell health, and can even help deter pesky bugs.

For our tortoises, getting muddy is the ultimate form of self-care. 💚

🌍🐾 World Desert Day celebrates life in some of Earth’s most challenging environments—and the fennec fox is a true desert standout.

Perfectly adapted for desert life, the fennec fox uses oversized ears to release heat, thick fur to stay insulated during hot days and cool nights, and fur-covered paws to protect against hot sand. These clever foxes can even get much of their water from the food they eat.

By learning about desert species like the fennec fox, we gain a greater appreciation for the fragile desert ecosystems they call home—and why they’re worth protecting.

🫧 It’s National Bubble Bath Day! 🫧
Did you know some of our zoo animals enjoy bubbles too—just not the way we do?

Violet, our orangutan, loves her bubble bath pool day! The bubbles provide fun enrichment, encouraging play, exploration, and interaction. She can touch them, watch them float, and yes…even taste them!

Don’t worry—our bubbles are non-toxic and animal-safe, designed especially for enrichment activities. Fun, safe, and stimulating for our amazing animals 🧡🧡

The happiest of birthdays to our superb seven-year-old, Neelix! 🦒🎂

If Neelix had a birthday wish, it’d be that every day could feel like a Morning Safari Tour — where new friends stop by to meet him, learn all about giraffes, and help feed him his favorite morning snacks.

Want to make his wish come true? Join us for a Morning Safari and start your day the Neelix way!
