Nothing brings the comfort of autumn like a fall feast! And our Pterodactylus aren't missing the party. We offered our last pumpkins at the zoo filled with bugs and fish, and the winged reptiles balance their weight and challenge themselves for a treat. 🐟🧠 ##ArtemisPaleozoo

Rhamphorhynchus training plays an important role in allowing staff to look at teeth, wings, nails, and eyes for a full check-up! Followed by positive reinforcement, you just have to be mindful that some have a snappy appetite.🐟🍽 #ZookeeperWeek Art by team member @Bluntosaurus_ (on Instagram) 🎨

On this #WorldFrogDay, here's a look at our amphibious friend, a young Diplocaulus, receiving it's monthly checkup! While still developing its "boomerang-shaped" head, much of the research we do on extinct amphibians has been used to better understand conserving frog populations across the globe. 🐸

A giant theropod of Cretaceous Asia, Therizinosaurus' huge claws are a mesmerizing sight. Theresa, the zoo's female, can be seen often browsing tree-to-tree in her habitat, and keepers note you can hear low, thrumming booms from her when curious of new enrichment or feeling content. 🌴
