Labour Day weekend is here and We Are Open. Long weekends often come with a leisurely brunch. Have you ever had a meal so tasty that you just wanted to submerge yourself in it? That seems to be what our African Crested Porcupine was doing… or maybe he was horsing it 🤔😜. He was definitely enjoying it in either case.

Nyah
Dec 13, 2012- Aug 13, 2023
We are very saddened to announce the very sudden and unexpected death of our pride matriarch. Nyah was a force to be reckoned with from her arrival at Oaklawn. Arriving as a half grown cub, she grew into a beautiful, mature lioness that exuded royalty and was a constant companion for Sterk. She was mother to both Hunter and NneNne and although she was unable to nurse them herself, she did have a very close bond with them as they grew. Nyah and NneNne often lounged together and shared special “lioness” time together. We are certain that Nyah’s lion family is missing her as much as we are. Her life was healthy to the end when she appeared to have had a stroke. She was attended to by our veterinarian, but fairly quickly passed in spite of medical care. We are heartbroken. 💔. When you visit, linger a little longer with the lions and share some of your energy with them. Your memories and affection for her can also be shared below this post.

The native habitat of the African Lion reaches extremely high daytime temperatures. Lions have adapted to these temperatures by resting up to 20 hours per day and by limiting activity during the peak of the heat. How are you handling the heat of this summer?

Zarina, the Siberian Tiger, is here to remind you that we are open everyday… holidays included.
How are you spending your Canada Day?

Ever wonder why you don’t see Sophie, the Canadian Lynx, just lying on her stand? She prefers a much more natural feeling perch and is often found lounging in her tree… have you been able to spot here there? Zookeeper Kathryn captured this great shot.

We are OPEN everyday, including holidays. Blueberry, the North American Black Bear, is already in long weekend mode and is enjoying her pool time…. Nothing like beating the heat by lounging in cool water.

Sorry for the late post… Facebook glitch…
Wishing a Very Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Whilimena, the Bennetts Wallaby shows off her baby. Keep your eyes open near the wallaby yard… there’s 3 moms in there. Can you spot them all?
