Young, wild, and three! Ambassador Animal Tulio recently celebrated his third birthday. Tulio is a three-banded armadillo, a South American species and the only armadillo that can roll up completely into a ball. At three years old, he’s fully grown, but these little guys can live around 15 years in the wild and up to 20 in human care.

For his special day, Tulio’s birthday cake was made from insectivore pellets, sweet potato, corn, and mealworms - all iced with frozen blueberries! Let's wish Tulio a happy birthday! 🥳 🏎️

It’s Action Indonesia Day! Action Indonesia Day is a day to raise awareness of the amazing creatures of Indonesia - especially the babirusa, anoa, and banteng. Audubon Zoo works with organizations across the world on the Action Indonesia Global Species Management Plan to save animals.

The biggest threats babirusa face in the wild are habitat loss and illegal hunting for their meat. The Action Indonesia GSMP promotes education about protecting the habitat for all these animals and provides alternatives to hunting these animals into extinction. Visit http://actionindonesiagsmp.org for more information on how we help and how you can help, too.
