Good morning from the North American river otters! 🤩

Ok, Mike Craghead… You said “that BIRD is stealing my JOB!” Gauntlet is officially thrown.

Expert (human) pumpkin carver Mike Craghead will be demonstrating his techniques and carving live at our upcoming Boo at the Zoo event!

Expert parrot pumpkin carver, Bella, made modifications to some remnants of Mike’s creation from OktoBearFest (what used to be a bear’s body and arm). How does she rate against Mike as a carver?

Judge for yourself! We will have a display of pumpkins carved by Sequoia Park Zoo animals near Mike as he works on his unbelievable creations.

Boo at the Zoo! presented by Organic Matters Ranch is back with all of our favorite family-friendly festivities, including Trick-or-Treat stations, the Spooky Science Center, animal pumpkin Stomp & Chomp, and expert carver Mike Craghead!

In addition to habitats for goats, sheep, pigs, raccoons, and more - did you know that the Barnyard is home to a Little Free Library?

At Sequoia Park Zoo, we believe in fostering literacy and a lifelong love of learning, and we encourage guests to bring a book or take a book on their next visit to the Barnyard! 📚

That stump didn’t stand a chance against Nabu! 🐻

In the wild, American black bears use their strong, curved claws to turn rocks and tear bark in search of bugs, grubs, and other tasty treats. 🐛

At the Zoo, our wild-inspired habitat includes many stumps, snags, and logs that encourage this natural foraging behavior. 🌲

As we swing into spooky season, here is a reminder from your friendly, neighborhood spider man. 🕷️🕸️

Faux spider webs can be dangerous for animals when used outdoors, and wildlife care centers receive many calls during the month of October to help birds and other animals that have become trapped or tangled. Although faux spider webbing is a fun way to decorate for Halloween, we encourage guests to consider keeping the faux webbing indoors this spooky season - and let the spiders take care of decorating outside. 😉

Thank you to everyone who donated to our International Red Panda Day fundraiser in September! Our Zoo’s Conservation Council and community came together to raise $1125 for the Red Panda Network!

The Red Panda Network is an amazing nonprofit working to save wild red pandas and their habitats in Nepal.

Conservation donations are made from the Sequoia Park Zoo Conservation Fund, a component fund of the Humboldt Area Foundation + Wild Rivers Community Foundation.

And the answer to yesterday's "What’s that Sound?" is… Sequoia the raccoon crunching on apples!

Raccoons are omnivores that eat diverse foods including fruits (like berries), nuts (like acorns), roots, small animals, and more.

It's time for another round of... What's that sound?

Drop your guess below! We will share the answer tomorrow.
