Somewhere inside every old bear, is a cub who still loves snow days. We think watching Leo dig (and flop) might be the purest joy on the internet today.

We know you miss Onion, because we miss him, too! Onion is leaving Cleveland Metroparks Zoo to potentially breed with harbor seals at another AZA-accredited Zoo, helping to ensure the sustainability of the harbor seal population. Stay tuned for more Onion updates!

Howdy, birthday boy! In honor of two-toed sloth Arnie’s 10th birthday, his care team hosted a “Wild West” party. The festivities included chips (made with his sloth diet) and guac (corn, tomatoes, and avocado)! 📷 Jaydan P.

Today is a pig deal – it's #NationalPigDay! 🐽 Our red river hogs in the African Savannah Building are members of the Suidae family. When fluffed out, a red river hog’s whiskers and tufty ears make them look bigger and more intimidating! 🐷 #YourZooYYC

Zoo Boise recently welcomed Laura, our new wolverine, and she's already making an impression. Although wolverines are found in parts of Idaho, they are rarely seen, making this a special opportunity to connect with one of North America’s most elusive mammals.

A good look at our Mission golden-eyed tree frog (also called Amazon milk frog), a fairly large arboreal frog native to the Amazon rainforests of South America, that gets its name from a poisonous milky secretion they produce when feeling threatened. Their toe pads are strong!

Happy #AardvarkWeek Tilli! Get ready to giggle, our girl Tilli is slurping up grub at lightning speed in this hilarious video. That loooong, sticky tongue is built for business, and she puts it to work, along with her oversized ears, adorable sniffer, and powerful digging claws.

There are fewer than 6,000 black rhinos left on Earth. Tytan is one of them. He came to us as an orphan, and he is growing into exactly the kind of bold, confident young bull his species desperately needs. When he's older, Tytan will call the forest he is currently exploring his

Hudson said, “Oh? You wood look at that.” 🪵 Our resident beaver, Hudson, found the perfect stick and wasted no time adding it to his den. When you’re a master builder, every branch is a big deal!

We celebrated our new arrival with a welcome party where we announced his name! Tumbili (Swahili for "Monkey") This new arrival strengthens family bonds and helps the troop thrive, while giving our Animal Care Team a reason to celebrate the hard work that made this possible.

We’re hopping into Monday like a northern rockhopper penguin! 🐧 This small bird navigates their rocky home by jumping with both feet together, launching themselves with powerful leg muscles and keeping their grip with sharp claws. #YourZooYYC

Boop the snoot! It’s National Pig Day and Olive’s 12th birthday 🎉 Olive and her son, Pugsley, are located on the outer Africa Trail! You can tell them apart by the color of their snouts (Olive’s is darker) and Pugsley is missing a tassle on one of his ears.
