It's hot in PA! 🔥

Just like us, animals will cool themselves in various ways. Our porcupines will often enjoy lying on ice cubes or relaxing by the fan.

Here's something worth remembering: a bee is not out to get you. 🐝

Left alone, bees have no interest in you and only sting when they feel threatened. Stinging can cost them their lives, so it is truly a last resort. Give them space, and they will happily go about their work.

And what work it is!

Bees pollinate the plants that feed us and the wild spaces that keep entire ecosystems running. No bees mean no flowers, less food, and a much emptier world. So next time one buzzes past, let them bee.

What do you already do to help your local bees? Tell us below.

We held the first of our six special Member Meet-Ups today, and Piper and Jet certainly felt the love from some of their biggest fans! 🦦

With so many members eager to say “see you later” before their next adventure, we’ve officially opened additional spots for our remaining five Member Meet-Ups! These exclusive, members-only events offer a special opportunity to get up close with Piper and Jet and give two longtime Zoo favorites a proper send-off.

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required, so don’t wait to reserve your spot! Pre-register: elmwoodparkzoo.org/event/member-meet-ups-2/2026-08-17/

This is not a regular day for us, but the conservation message is too important to keep to ourselves.

Behind the Zoo lies Stony Creek, a local fishing spot home to many of our local wildlife.

We are not wildlife rehabilitators and do not take in outside friends, but we wanted to use this moment to highlight the importance of caring for shared wild spaces.
