🐘🏈 Super Bowl LIX is almost here, and our two Asian elephants, Mari and Vaigai, are getting in on the action! Normally, Mari, our matriarch, is the first to make her pick, but this year Vaigai took the lead!
🦅Vaigai passed by the Chiefs to pick the Eagles as her Super Bowl winner! Who’s ready for a showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles? Let’s see if Vaigai’s prediction is spot on!
🏆We were joined today by two of our amazing elephant keeper team members, Andi and Foster, as well as Honolulu City Councilmember Augie Tulba to help give us the rundown on our elephants’ Super Bowl picks and what they think it’ll mean for the big game this Sunday. 🐘💬
Who’s your pick? Drop your predictions below! 👇

Yesterday’s rainy weather at the Honolulu Zoo turned into an unexpected adventure! While some of our animals sought shelter, others, like Kendi, our male black rhino, embraced the mud and had a blast. 🌧️🦏 Keeper staff caught Kendi running through the puddles, clearly having the best day ever! Sometimes, a little rain makes for the most memorable moments. ☔🐾

This Valentine’s Day, ditch the boring cards and send something they’ll never forget—a Love Bite! Whether you’re swooning over your special someone or having a little fun with a “not-so-special” someone, we’ve got the perfect gift to spice things up.
Leave it to us—and let the Honolulu Zoo help make your Valentine’s Day message unforgettable! Choose from a digital card or a hilarious video of an animal chomping down on a bug, flower, or ice pop, all named after your loved one (or not-so-loved one!). It’s quirky, fun, and guaranteed to give them goosebumps—along with some laughs!
Make this Valentine’s Day extra memorable (or delightfully awkward) with a “Love Bite” from the Honolulu Zoo. It’s sweet, unexpected, and packed with a whole lot of personality!

These cooler Hawaiian mornings are perfect for inspiring our animals to explore and forage in their habitats! 🌿🐾 Lilly the aardvark is loving the opportunity to dig, sniff, and uncover hidden gems in her environment. 🌞#saturdaymorning #enrichmentwin #animalenrichment #aardvark #foraging #keepercam #honoluluzoo #honolulu #hawaii
Komodo dragons are amazing animals known for their large size, great sense of smell, serrated teeth, and hunting abilities. But did you know Komodo dragons are also excellent swimmers? 🏊♂️🌊 These incredible creatures can swim between islands and dive to hunt for food. At the Honolulu Zoo, our three Komodo dragons showcase their natural swimming skills by diving for fish in their pool! 🐟🐾

🎉 Yesterday, we asked you to guess what was inside the mystery boxes that arrived for our zoo residents... and here’s the big reveal!
🦁🐅🐘 It’s GIANT enrichment items! 🛍️ After brainstorming with our amazing keepers and getting help from the Honolulu Zoo Society and our friends at Pacific Air Cargo, we brought in some super tough items to enrich the lives of our rhinos, lions, tigers, elephants, and more! 💪
Enrichment is an important way to help keep our animals happy and healthy. So, next time you visit the Honolulu Zoo, check out how our animals investigate and interact with these great new items in their spaces! 🐾
And don’t worry—those giant packing boxes won’t go to waste either. Our animals will have a blast with them too!

We want to “paws” 🐾 and mahalo the nearly 60 City employees, their family members, and Honolulu Zoo Society board members who volunteered at the Honolulu Zoo this morning. Volunteers helped to make the grounds look “purr-fect” 🐆 by raking, weeding, clearing overgrowth, wiping down graphics and rubbish cans, and helping with the zoo’s recycling effort.
This marked the City’s third volunteer work day.
Mahalo to everyone who came out. We “ape-solutely” 🦧 appreciate each and every one of you!
