We interrupt your scrolling for a picnic with the patas 🧺🥜
Found throughout Africa, patas monkeys are the fastest species of primate! They’re capable of running up to 35 miles per hour. What’s the best fuel for all that speed? A treat of peanuts, of course!

Memphis Zoo is inviting guests to step behind the scenes with Exclusive Encounters, a new opportunity to get up close to some of the zoo’s most beloved residents. This program offers private, personalized interactions with okapi, red pandas, capybara, penguins, animal ambassadors, and special elephant experiences.
Guests can reserve the chance to meet Gina, the zoo’s elephant matriarch, or take part in an elephant painting session. 50% of proceeds from those elephant encounters will support Elephants for Africa, a conservation partner working to protect wild elephant populations.
Each encounter is reserved exclusively for you and your party, ensuring a unique and unforgettable experience. The sessions are led by our expert zoo educators and dedicated animal keepers, offering engaging, behind-the-scenes insights tailored to your group.
Guests are encouraged to review group rules and age restrictions before booking. Animal participation is voluntary, and the Zoo always prioritizes animal comfort and well-being.
Fan-favorite encounters with penguins and Lua the sloth will also return in March. Get ready to grab your tickets at memphiszoo.org. 🐾

We’re always on the birthday boy’s tribe! 🏝️🧡 Check out those zoomies!
Though today is Frankie’s actual 1st birthday, we celebrated a day early yesterday in anticipation of the winter weather. It was the best party EVER, with all his best friends there—his Keepers, Birch, and even his goat pals, Belle and Daisy. Belle and Daisy were Frankie’s companions before he was old enough to join the herd. They even gave him his own personal birthday card! Happy 1st birthday, Frankie!
