A sweet first introduction for our baby giraffe! 🦒 He met his ‘aunt’ Chrystal for the very first time, and it’s safe to say, she’s already the best auntie ever, giving him all the gentle nuzzles and giraffe hugs. Our little guy hasn’t made his habitat debut just yet!

Meet our newest long-legged little giraffe! Born September 24 to mom Katie and dad Tebogo, this little guy came into the world at 156 lbs. and already standing 5’8” tall. He was quick to his feet, standing within the hour and nursing shortly after.

With heavy hearts we share that Winspear, our 12-year-old cheetah, was humanely euthanized after a recent decline in health. As an animal ambassador, Winspear inspired thousands. We invite you to share your favorite Winspear memories, photos, and videos as we celebrate his life.

Throwback to baby Mak sitting in a pile of wood wool. 😍 Wood wool makes the perfect cozy bedding, works as nesting material, and adds tons of enrichment for our animals. A huge thank you to our friends at @AExcelsior for their generous donation of wood wool.

This little one’s got the best seat in the house — mom’s head! 😂 Gorilla infants typically ride on their mom’s back, but Megan and her baby are doing things a little differently. 📸: Melissa C.
