Happy World Tamandua Day! This is Pimento the Southern tamandua, a small but mighty member of the anteater family with some seriously cool adaptations! With their powerful claws, long prehensile tails, and sticky tongues that can reach up to 16 inches, tamanduas are perfectly built for snacking on termites and ants.
Tamanduas play an important role in their ecosystems by helping control insect populations and keeping forests healthy. But like many wildlife species, they depend on safe habitats and human protection to thrive.
Swing by the Cincinnati Zoo to learn more about tamanduas and the many other amazing species we’re working to save every day!

We can't get enough of Daisy! Little Daisy has been melting hearts at the Cincinnati Zoo with her curious eyes and playful antics. She’s learning the ropes from her mom and the rest of the bonobo troop — climbing, exploring, and practicing those all-important social skills that make bonobos so special.

Bonobos are one of our closest living relatives. Sadly, they’re also one of the most endangered great apes, threatened by habitat loss and illegal hunting in the Congo Basin. Every bonobo birth — including Daisy’s — represents hope for the future of this incredible species.

By visiting the Zoo, supporting wildlife conservation programs, and spreading the word, you’re helping protect bonobos and the forests they depend on.

You otter get to the Zoo!
Southern sea otters Chloe and Kevin explored Sea Otter Coast this morning for the first time and can now be seen by visitors at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. The Zoo is home to two other otter species, Asian small-clawed otters and North American river otters, but this is the first time it has housed Southern sea otters, listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
