Thirsty?

All proceeds support animals on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, which identifies species at serious risk of extinction. Manhattan Brewing Company is creating a one-of-a-kind beer, Red Pandamonium, in honor of red pandas, which are unfortunately on the Red List.

Have you ever heard a snapped twig or a rustle in the bushes, only to look and see nothing at all?

When the sun goes down, many animals are just getting started. With incredible adaptations for life in low light, these nighttime ninjas are masters of staying unseen.

Join us this Saturday, September 26, from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. for an evening at Sunset Zoo as we explore the world of nocturnal animals and discover the special skills that help them survive and thrive after dark.

The program includes an educational program, a guided tour of the Zoo, and s'mores!

Tickets are now available at the link below! FOSZ Members: $12, Non-Members: $15

Does she have an itch?

Maya, the maned wolf, is not scratching an itch. She is marking her territory.

By rubbing her body against the tree, Maya leaves her unique scent on the bark, so other maned wolves and other animals know this is HER home.

The unique, pungent scent you often catch when visiting Maya and Fenix on the Americas Trail is the result of their letting everyone know that Sunset Zoo is their home and no else’s!

Want to show your favorite Sunset Zoo residents some extra love?

A wonderful Zoo lover donated a swing to Sunset Zoo’s white-handed gibbons, and Tucker was curious to check it out.

You, too, can support our animal residents and the dedicated staff who care for them every day by gifting tasty treats, terrific toys, enrichment items, and other useful supplies from our Amazon Wishlist via the link below. Or on your next visit, stop by the Gift Shop and check out the Enrichment Tree for even more ways to give. Every donation helps keep the animals healthy and happy and makes your visits even better!

Kids and their technology.

Keeper Francis was trying to get a video of the colobus monkeys, but they don't like being watched, so Francis propped the phone against the outside of the mesh and walked away for a brief moment. That was all it took for eight-month-old Kiatu to take his first selfie, investigate the phone, and then drag it under the mesh.
