Rozi the cheetah purrs 😻 Sound on for beautiful cheetah purrs! Cats can either roar or purr, they can’t do both. Lions & tigers can roar, but they can’t purr. Cheetahs can purr, but they can’t roar.

Happy Sea Otter Week! 🦦 Sea otters like Chloe and Kevin are more than adorable. They are a keystone species that helps keep marine ecosystems healthy. By eating sea urchins, sea otters help protect kelp forests that provide food and shelter for countless other species.

More Zoo Babies! The Aruba Island rattlesnake is expecting! This species doesn't lay eggs like most snakes. Instead, they give birth through a process called ovoviviparity, where eggs develop & hatch inside the mother’s body. The babies are born live, fully formed, and ready to survive on their own

Happy 1st Birthday to Daisy the bonobo! Like chimpanzees, bonobos share 98.7% of our DNA. But unlike gorillas or chimpanzees, bonobos are a matriarchal society. They are female lead, and female bonds take priority over male bonds.

When the gaboon viper was having medical concerns, it was essential for her care team to get a closer look at her to determine what was going on. This required them to “tube” her. “Tubing” is an important tool reptile keepers use to get a closer look at snakes that cannot be otherwise handled safely
