🎃 Seeking pumpkins! 🎃

Done with your old pumpkins and don’t want them rotting on your porch? We’ll take them! It’s a fun treat for our animals and a great way to recycle your pumpkins.

Just drop them off at our gates over the next couple of days and we will gladly take them off your hands! (And our furry friends will be glad too!)

🎉❤️ Happy Birthday to the Man Behind the Zoo — 🐾🦓🐪🦘

Some things never change! ❤️

Looking at this picture, it's pretty obvious that Trent's love for animals started at a very young age. Little did that boy know just how many animals — and people — would one day depend on him!

That little boy holding a puppy grew up to make a difference in the lives of more animals and people than he could have ever imagined.

And I think that's something worth celebrating! ❤️

Help us wish our very own Mr. Trent the Zookeeper a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Meet our most otherworldly resident: the Jacob sheep! 🛸🐏

Yes, you are seeing that correctly—this sheep has four horns! 🤯

With their unique look, they look less like a backyard farm animal and more like a creature straight from an alien planet. But don't worry, they come in peace! While most sheep only have two horns, our polycerate (multi-horned) Jacob sheep just loves to stand out from the cosmic crowd.

Want to see this magnificent, sci-fi superstar up close? Come visit us at En Gedi Ridge Zoo!
Are you convinced? Are they real🐑 or are they extraterrestrial 👽?

‼️The biggest question from this weekend was: what’s wrong with Doug’s neck??

In short: it’s a gland secretion.

Longer version: This gland leaves a scent to mark their territory. When it gets wet, (and it was raining a bit on Saturday) it activates into a bright red color! This scent is left on trees, homes, and even females.

Doug really came to show off.💪
