Join us LIVE with Dr. Greg Rasmussen of the Painted Dog Research Trust. 🐾
In honor of World Wildlife Day, we hit the streets to test our visitors' animal knowledge - and they crushed it! 👏

Black Crowned Crane | Sedgwick County Zoo
#DidYouKnow that black crowned cranes are about 3 feet in height and have wing spans reaching up to 6 feet?! 🤯 Their impressive wingspan helps them gracefully navigate wetlands and grasslands, where they spend their time foraging for insects, small animals, and plants.
Next time you visit, be sure to stop by and admire them in our Downing Gorilla Forest - you might be surprised by just how big they really are!

Snow Leopard in Snow | Sedgwick County Zoo
These freezing temperatures may have us bundling up, but they’re just right for a snow leopard! ❄
Snow leopards are able to stay warm thanks to their thick fur which grows even longer in the winter, acting as insulation, along with their bushy tail that can wrap around their body for added warmth when resting.

Alizeti 18 Month Update | Sedgwick County Zoo
Alizeti is 18 months old! 🎉 Let’s celebrate with 60 seconds of her playing!
She’s gaining confidence every day, zipping around her habitat and mastering her climbing skills. Whether swinging on firehose or engaging with her enrichment, she’s always on the move! Her baby teeth have all come in, including her first canines, and she’s enjoying more solid foods - especially grapes which are her favorite!
Lately, she’s been spending more time with the adult females in her troop, often seen playing and interacting with them. In the wild, infant chimpanzees are raised with the help of the whole group, so it’s natural for her to be forming strong bonds with her family.

It's time for a #BumpDate! 🐘 Simunye, the furthest along in her pregnancy, is getting some well-deserved pampering. She’s been receiving warm hydrotherapy sessions which help with swelling and keeping her clean. Additionally, she gets topped off with an antibacterial spray for any sores that may occur due to stretching.
As many mothers know, growing a baby is tough work, so we’re making sure our elephants are as comfortable as possible! 🧡
