Can you see the resemblance? 🤔 Denver, our blue-and-gold macaw, is a modern-day descendant of the Herrerasaurus that lived during the Triassic period. It’s a prehistoric reptile that used to be bipedal and its arms evolved to be wings.

Get well soon, Tesoro! ❤️‍🩹 We are supporting our 11-year-old male jaguar as he begins his long road to recovery after sustaining a serious leg injury. Tesoro fractured his front right leg which required immediate veterinary attention and ultimately surgery.

After a successful procedure in conjunction with board-certified veterinary surgeons at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists, Tesoro was moved behind the scenes where he will spend the next several months recovering. In the meantime, guests can see Tesoro’s energetic and fast-growing cub, Rojo, in his habitat in South America’s Pantanal with mom, Vida. Read more: bit.ly/4mL31Tp
