Protect the Pride! In celebration of Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King arriving only in theaters December 20, help the Wildlife Conservation Network’s Lion Recovery Fund double the lion population by 2050 through efforts that engage communities to support a future for African wildlife and their habitats. You can help by bringing your unusable holiday lights to Audubon Zoo for our Lights for Lions conservative initiative!

All proceeds from recycling your string lights will support Lion Recovery Fund. This is also one of the ways we proudly contribute as a program partner to The Association of Zoos and Aquariums SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) Lions.

On Thursday, December 12th, we hosted the 22nd annual Louisiana Pine Snake Conservation Workshop, which brought together more than 50 stakeholders from across the southern US involved in the conservation of this threatened native species.

Once distributed throughout western Louisiana and eastern Texas, over the past century the Louisiana Pine Snake has seen widespread population declines to where it is now restricted to just a few tiny fragmented areas, and today it is considered to be one the rarest snakes in the United States. At the zoo, federal and state wildlife officials, zoo biologists, private landowners, field biologists and other professionals from other conservation organizations convened for a full day of presentations and discussions centered on current efforts and future strategies to conserve the Louisiana Pine Snake and restore its wild populations.

Another day, another urine soaked enrichment item for bobcats Creole and Chinchuba! Any guesses on which animal it is this time? 😹 The smells of other species are always great enrichment for our animals and encourage many different types of behavior. Animals that usually scent mark their territory will carefully inspect anything that has been sprayed with the urine of another species before remarking it to claim as their own.

It's safe to say that our Primates had a successful Friendsgiving! 🥧 🌽 🦃
