Look who's new at the zoo! We'd like to welcome our newest residents, two male American beavers. These boys come to us from a wildlife rehabilitation center that cared for them after they were injured as juveniles. Their injuries made them non-releasable back to the wild, so they've found their forever home at the Phillips Park Zoo. They are still adjusting to their new exhibit, but you can view them in the pond enclosure across from the bald eagle. Come check them out!

We are thrilled to continue to be part of such a great conservation initiative!
