Anton, our giant anteater, has been on a life-saving medical journey like no other! He’s the first anteater to receive cross-species blood transfusions and specialized rehab, including laser therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapy.

Thanks to his incredible care team and our partners LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, Nashville Zoo, MedVet New Orleans, and Dr. Stephens, NOLA Acupuncture Veterinary Specialist, Anton is now thriving and rebuilding his strength!

Time for an adorable CUBdate! 🦁

The three cubs are thriving and growing under the watchful eyes of mom Kali. Their care team has noticed them starting to explore, though they don’t quite have their footing yet and need to rest frequently. Most of their day is still spent nursing and snoozing together. Being this adorable is exhausting work!

It’s officially bulking season for our black bear girls Sakari, Sassafras, and Spider! 🐻 💪

The girls are entering hyperphagia, the natural fall phase when bears bulk up for the colder months. Their starting weights are:

Sassafras: 190 lbs
Sakari: 191 lbs
Spider: 256 lbs.

By December, they’ll have gained quite a bit, and we can’t wait to share their glow-up! Who do you think will be our champion? 🏆
