🌊 Beavers are changing the game in Utah! 🦫

Check out this incredible video showing how relocated beavers helped revive a dying desert river in just two years. These little ecosystem engineers are creating wetlands, storing water, and building a better future for all of us.

At Zootah, we’re proud to be part of this movement alongside BERC and the State of Utah. Join us in celebrating and supporting beaver conservation at our Building a Better ‘Dam’ Future gala this September!

🎉🎂 We’re celebrating a special birthday this week—Casey the crow turned THREE on June 18th! 🎂🎉

She’s sassy, smart, and loves shiny things (just like us). Crows are incredibly intelligent—they can recognize human faces, hold grudges, and even pass down knowledge from generation to generation.

👀 But here’s something wild you probably didn’t know:
Crows hold funerals for their dead. When one crow passes, others gather around in silence, not just to mourn—but to learn what happened and avoid danger in the future.🖤🪦

A huge thank you to Leo for capturing this gorgeous shot of our girl! 📸

Come wish Casey a happy hatching day at Zootah this weekend!

💔 We are heartbroken to share that our beloved mule deer, Eunique, passed away this week.

He was a gentle and beautiful presence at Zootah, and he will be deeply missed by our team and all who visited him. Thank you to everyone who loved him alongside us.
