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.

Unlike spontaneous reproduction, as seen in greater one-horned rhinos, white rhino females may therefore require a "bull impact" for future reproduction. Altogether, these findings help us better understand managed rhino reproduction and ultimately support conservation efforts for these species!

Ripple - Rip seems to be our bad boy of the bunch. Ripple LOVES to spar/play-fight with his brothers! Ripple seems to have taken that lesson to heart - he defends his snacks with a surprising amount of ferocity for such a tiny otter.

Scuttle - Our “foodie” of the bunch! When the otter pups finally started to explore solid foods, Scuttle dove in head first and got the hang of eating solids quicker than his brothers. He can be sassy and spicy at times and reminds us very much of his mother Munti with his big personality!

Puddles - Look for the white fur on the tip of his tail to easily identify him among the brothers. He’s super happy wrestling with his bros or venturing out into the deep water next to his Dad. He seems to have a sweet disposition overall.
