It’s African Painted Dog Day! 🤙🏼🐾

Native to sub Saharan Africa, African painted dogs are one of the continent’s most endangered carnivores. They live in close packs and rely on true teamwork. They hunt, raise pups together and look out for one another like a family.

And no two look exactly alike! Their patchwork coats of black, brown, white and gold are unique to each dog, much like a fingerprint.

If you’re visiting us today, stop by the Conservation Station near the elephants from 10 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Our educators will be there with biofacts, coloring, games and more in celebration of African Painted Dog Day!!

What’s it like working with an orangutan? Ask Keeper Tyler!🦧

As part of our primate keeper team, Tyler spends his days caring for our guy Rusti, preparing his diet, creating cool enrichment and finding new ways to keep one very intelligent orangutan curious and engaged.

What’s his favorite part of being a keeper? Getting to know Rusti, building trust with each other and seeing his incredible intelligence at work.

🧡✨➡️ Come say hi to Rusti and stop by for our Orangutan Keeper Talks every Sunday @ 2PM!

Meet Rusti and Violet! 🦧🧡

Orangutans are remarkably intelligent, spending much of their lives among the treetops of Southeast Asia’s rainforests. But in the wild, all 3 species of orangutan are critically endangered.

Supporting conservation is a vital part of our mission at the Honolulu Zoo. Through the Aloha ʻĀina Conservation Fund, we help support organizations working to protect orangutans and give them a better chance of survival in the wild.

This , come say hello to Rusti and Violet and learn more about the wild cousins they represent🌿

Long before Godzilla, we had these lizard friends! 🦎

Komodo dragons. Crocodile monitors. Iguanas. Skinks. Bearded dragons.

Different sizes. Different survival strategies. All unmistakably Lizard!

Lizards have been figuring out how to survive on this planet for millions of years, evolving to climb, dig, swim, camouflage and occasionally grow very, very large. The Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard in the world, can even reach around 10 feet long!

Some are beautiful. Some are other worldly. Some look like they remember a world before us.

We’re just lucky enough to have a few of them here at Honolulu Zoo.

Happy 🦎
