We have a new arrival here at the zoo! After a period of quarantine, this young bull elk will be joining Ivy and Harley in the Bison & Elk exhibit. He certainly is interested in what those ladies are up to on the other side of the fence, and can frequently be heard calling out to them. We need help naming this new boy! Our team of keepers has narrowed down to the following names: Maxie (Maximilian), Oswald, Floyd, or Bane.

☑️ Share this post and drop your favorite name down in the comments to be entered to win a Behind the Scenes experience for 2 with our Bison, Cody and CJ! 👇

We'll announce the winner on Wednesday, January 8th. Good luck!

Did you know that avocadoes exist today because of sloths? 🦥

Now-extinct giant ground sloths were among the few mammals with digestive systems capable of handling the large avocado seeds intact. They consumed the fruit and helped spread its seeds over vast areas. Modern tree sloths are descendants of these giant ground sloths.

Our sweet sloth, Liko, who is normally pretty elusive, was incredibly photogenic today!

Give gifts with purpose this season!

When you purchase a zoo membership, those funds go towards supporting endangered species in the wild. ​

We partner with conservation groups working directly with animals in their natural habitat, and are currently helping to fund the Laramie Foothills bison conservation herd, red panda habitat restoration and education for local communities, snare removal and community education in South Africa for African Painted Dogs, and the installation of innovative artificial nest boxes for the AZA Penguin SAFE program.
