Our apologies, we forgot to celebrate National Velociraptor Appreciation Day yesterday! 😱 Every year on April 18th, it is time to learn about velociraptors….so here are some facts!

⭐️ Velociraptors don't have reptile skin. Instead, Velociraptors have feathers, due to their quills.

⭐️ Velociraptors don't hunt in packs. All speed hunters are lone hunters.

⭐️ Velociraptors are not fast. Although velociraptor is 'speed thief' in the Greek, they were not as fast as other dinosaurs.

⭐️ Curved Weapons! The Velociraptors' greatest weapons are the curved claws on their paws, which are used to stab, slash, and knock down attackers or prey.

It’s National Ferret Day!!! ❤️

The name "ferret" is derived from the Latin furittus, meaning "little thief", a likely reference to the common ferret penchant for secreting away small items.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Pickles on the arrival of Dill, Gherkin, and Jalapeño! 🤣🐢🐢🐢

Dill, Gherkin and Jalapeño were found when a keeper was “in the right place at the right time.”

Happy Learn About Butterflies Day!
Now You Know! - The Dryadula genus is monotypic and contains only the Banded Orange Butterfly (Dryadula phaetusa). It is typically native from Brazil to central Mexico, but in summer its range expands further north into parts of the United States. Females are duller in color and the dark bands are less pronounced.
