Happy 1st Birthday, Solana! 🐆🎉

One year ago today, Alexandria Zoo welcomed a tiny jaguar cub who would quickly capture the hearts of her keepers, visitors, and community. From her first health checks and early exploring days to playful pounces, enrichment fun, and growing confidence, Solana’s first year has been full of unforgettable moments.

Today, we’re celebrating her story with a look back at the milestones, memories, and conservation impact behind this very special jaguar.

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, August 1 from 9 AM–1 PM, as we celebrate Solana’s 1st Birthday at Alexandria Zoo! (Regular Zoo admission; FOTAZ Members free with card and photo ID)

Happy birthday, Solana! 💛🐾

Before the big pounces, confident climbs, and full-speed Solana zoomies, there were these first curious steps. 🐆💛

As Solana began exploring her world, every branch, log, leaf, and new view became part of the adventure. Watching her grow from a tiny cub into the playful, curious jaguar we know today has been such a joy.

Solana’s birthday is this Friday, July 31, and Alexandria Zoo will celebrate her 1st Birthday on Saturday, August 1!

Enjoy a look back at some of her early exploring moments as we count down to the big day. 🎉🐾
