NIABI ZOO KINDNESS ROCKS

Zoo-Rockn' to Spread Kindness!

We are pleased to kick off our 2025 Kindness Rock Series this week. Our goal is to spread random acts of kindness throughout the zoo. On your next visit if you happen to run across one of our animal rock friends..... you can choose a few options:

Snap a photo and share on Facebook, then you can either leave it as you found it for the next person to find OR you can take your new animal rock friend and hide them in your community spreading kindness.

Kindness Rock Rules to Keep in Mind:
*Do not re-hide anywhere in the zoo near or in with the animals
*Only hide in public places that are safe for everyone
*Do not hide in grassy areas, as they could cause damage to lawn equipment

Let the KINDNESS begin!

Happy Retirement Bob!

Bob, our Reticulated Python has been moved to a behind the scenes area so he can retire. He is now 25 years old. A typical lifespan is 23-29, so he is in “grandpa status” now. Bob underwent his routine veterinary examination in early February 2025. During this examination, we performed full body radiographs (x-rays) to help us get a more detailed internal physical examination. Upon examination of those x-rays, it was determined that Bob has spondylosis. Spondylosis is a general term referring to the degeneration of the spine, often associated with aging. It involves the breakdown of the intervertebral discs and facet joints, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and reduced flexibility secondary to loss of ligament and tendon elasticity. Because of this, we are changing up Bob's long term geriatric care plan moving forward, which includes retirement. This way he can be in a better space for us to closely monitor his mobility, create a more easily maneuverable space, monitor his body condition, and allow us to medicate him more easily long term as his medical and husbandry needs change moving forward.

Bob will have his own private home with his favorite bathing pool, his delicious rabbit meals and will always have great care from his favorite zookeepers.

Monique and Cecil Sloth along with the Blue crowned motmots have moved into Bob’s former habitat
