What’s your favorite Wynona face? 1-6

Happy International Vulture Awareness Day! Our newest residents of the zoo are extremely important to the ecosystem. King vultures aide public and environmental health by quickly disposing of dead animals.

These King vultures are currently behind the scenes off display but keep a watchful eye out for updates these as we break ground on their new habitat.
