We are truly saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned conservationist and ethologist. Her dedication to protecting the natural world has left a lasting impact that will continue to inspire generations to come.

In her book, "Hope for Animals and Their World", Dr. Goodall emphasized the importance of protecting even the smallest of creatures, like the American burying beetle. She has written about and supported the work of individuals dedicated to saving the species, such as Lou Perrotti, RWPZoo's Director of Conservation.

Dr. Goodall showed us what it means to live with intent, curiosity, humility, and love for all creatures. She will be sorely missed by all of those whose lives she touched.

International Red Panda Day has been extra special this year celebrating the exciting growth of our red panda family. 💓

Every birth is a step toward ensuring a future for this remarkable species, and every time you visit our red pandas at the Zoo, you are supporting the important work and research being done to help them.

In honor of International Red Panda Day, please enjoy some sweet behind-the-scenes moments with new mom Zan and her twin kits as they have grown these last few months. 🥰

We know everyone is eagerly waiting to see the babies on habitat, but for the next few weeks they will continue bonding behind-the-scenes with mom and developing the necessary skills to thrive as they begin exploring. More updates to come real soon. ❤️

🦥 Hang in there, we are halfway to the weekend!

DYK: Sloths spend 90% of their life upside down! While the vast majority of their lives are spent hanging in the tree canopies to eat, sleep, mate, and give birth, they must come down to use the bathroom on the forest floor about once a week.

Our mission is to create engaging experiences that empower guests to join us in conserving wildlife and wild places.

Located amid 40 acres of beautiful woodlands, Roger Williams Park Zoo provides visitors the opportunity to see animals from all over the globe – some more than a million years old. We are home to more than 160 species including a Komodo dragon, as well as red pandas, African elephants, Masai giraffes, snow leopards, bears, anteaters, sloths, and more!

Roger Williams Park Zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), and is home to many endangered species. As a result, the Zoo participates in cooperative conservation and breeding programs to help ensure the future survival of many endangered species.
