Who enjoyed seeing the recent Hunter’s Moon? Zoo Educator Tracy captured it over the Admissions Building. The October Hunter’s Moon is often associated with abundance, changing seasons, reflection, and letting go of the old before winter. In 2026, it reached its fullest point on October 25, and it may still look nearly full on nearby nights. The next full moon is the Beaver Moon on November 24.
