Wild Encounters are back on June 4! 🐢

Wild Encounters are free education shows where you can meet new species up close, ask questions, and get a look you don't get on a regular walk through the zoo.

Programs run from Thursday through Sunday all summer and are included with Zoo admission. Check our daily schedule when you arrive for show times and locations.

Support for this year's Wild Encounters is provided by Action Karate

Snack ❌ Scritches ✅

That preference is the whole point. Everything we do at EPZ involves cooperative care, which means our animals choose how to participate. For Cheddar, that means his care is hands-on, and all that happy contact is what makes him comfortable being handled for medical exams.

Cheddar was born right here at the zoo last year, so this isn’t only a clip of him being impossibly cute. It’s what a year of showing up looks like.

Leave him a birthday message below and we’ll make sure he gets it with lots of scritches.
