Happy Evolution Day! 🧬

Evolution takes many forms — including the fascinating effects of island gigantism and island dwarfism. These processes explain why some island species grow unusually large while others become much smaller.

With fewer predators and access to new resources, some species size up. The Galápagos tortoise, for instance, evolved into the world’s largest tortoise, using its size to travel long distances and reach higher vegetation.

Others shrink. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest of all tiger subspecies, shaped by the limited availability of prey and the dense forests of its island home.

Islands show just how inventive evolution can be.

On Wednesday, November 5, our beloved Keiki Zoo goat Oreo passed away due to complications following a recent procedure. Oreo, named for his black color with a white stripe around his middle, was cherished in the goat yard for his friendly, playful nature and the joy he brought to visitors and fellow goats alike. His loss is deeply felt by our Keiki Zoo staff, who loved him dearly.

We invite you to stop by on your next visit to spend time with the rest of the herd, who continue to charm guests each day. Please join us in remembering sweet Oreo and in sharing a little extra love with his goat friends.

It’s World Hello Day, so let’s play a quick game of Guess That Sound.
Can you identify which Honolulu Zoo resident made that vocalization?

👉 Answer: our cheetah!
We have three cheetah sisters here at the zoo, and although cheetahs are big cats, they don’t roar — they’re known for chirps, yelps, purrs, and mews.

Yesterday we celebrated Steve Irwin Day, honoring the life and legacy of a true wildlife hero. 🦎✨ Steve’s passion for animals, especially reptiles, changed the way the world sees and cares for wildlife. Just like the Galápagos tortoise, which has lived for centuries and witnessed the changing world around it, Steve’s message endures—“Caring for wildlife is not just a job, it’s a way of life.”

We’re proud to continue his mission at the Honolulu Zoo by educating and inspiring visitors to protect and respect our planet’s incredible creatures. 🌍💚
