Take a peek and meet Pepita!

Pepita is a red-rumped agouti, which are medium sized rodents native to South America. Agoutis are omnivorous, though their diet mainly consists of nuts, seeds, and fruit - they are also the only animal in their native range capable of opening up Brazil nuts!

Pepita lives in our South America habitat and can often be seen running around, digging in the dirt, or even sitting at the viewing window!

Too cold for island life!
Our Jamaican iguanas have moved indoors for the winter-no coats required, just heat lamps. These critically endangered reptiles are a great reminder of how specialized animals can be- and why protecting their natural environments is so import.

Join us January 15th from 6:00pm-7:30pm to hear from our conservation partner, International Rhino Foundation! This event is free to attend and will be located in the Corwin, Estes, Jaynes Education Center (the large tan building to the left of the parking lot).

During the conversation, International Rhino Foundation (IRF) will update the Cameron Park Zoo on their work with conservation and preservation of rhinos in the wild, and they will share ways in which we can help with their ongoing and future endeavors. The Cameron Park Zoo has a longstanding philanthropic relationship with IRF and sharing the concrete ways that the zoo’s financial giving impacts conservation efforts is a key priority in the zoo’s commitment to transparency and authenticity We hope that events like this inspire connection between the community and the zoo’s community partners. Your memberships support conservation efforts like those lead by the IRF, so come see what they are all about!

Come visit Mei and Ravi!!
They will be visible in the night house bedroom daily from 11am-1pm. This may adjust in the future, if Mei or Ravi are showing signs of being uncomfortable.
Ravi is just like human newborns, where she needs lots of sleep, so you will see her and mom cuddling in their large nest often.

Meet Jafar one he is one of 3 King cobras currently housed at the Cameron Park Zoo. King cobras are found across South and Southern Asia, they are active hunters and specialize in eating other snakes. They play an important role in maintaining balanced ecosystems by controlling snake populations. Their scientific name Ophiophagus literally means "snake eater." 😎 Habitat loss and human conflict threaten wild populations, making education and conservation critical to their survival. If you would like to come check out Jafar book a behind the scenes tour online. Enjoy this video of Jafar getting a nose boop. Video made by our amazing vet tech Amanda.
