Having a sibling, in a nutshell🤗

The two red panda cubs are growing like weeds! At almost two months old, they are practicing their motor skills and look just like minature versions of their parents! These two are still nursing and bonding with their mother, Pavitra, behind the scenes🥰

That feeling of grass in your talons🥰

Have you seen Athena in our Bird of Prey habitats yet? Athena recently graduated to her big kid yard ( 🥹 ) and is now taking turns with Amarillo the red-tailed hawk in the habitat next to Gomez the turkey vulture. This is a huge leap in Athena's ambassador training, and we are so proud of her!

📸Athena, the barn owl, stands in the grass with a piece of clover on her head. Thank you to our Wetlands Intern, McKennah, for this photo!

Let's exercise your X-ray skills👀

Take a peek at this X-ray of Roxy, the three-toed box turtle! Can you spot the five eggs she’s carrying?

Here at the Zoo, Roxy’s eggs are infertile — just like some birds, she still produces and lays eggs seasonally, even without mating opportunities.🥚

If you're wondering what you missed at last night's A Wild Affair, we'd tell you it was just your typical night... but we'd be lying.

Last night we made what might be our biggest announcement in a while — Pabu and Pavitra have welcomed their very first cubs! These two cubs were born on June 25th, and at a little over one month old, the two red panda kits are opening their eyes and developing their signature red and black coats!

The cubs will remain in their den until Pavitra feels comfortable allowing them to explore— likely around three months of age. Public viewing may begin at that time, but we will continue to share updates as they grow.
