In honor of National Smile Day it’s presented by Delta Dental! 🦒🦷 Just like humans, adult giraffes have 32 teeth in total, however, if you look closely at a giraffe’s “smile” and you’ll notice they have no upper front teeth! Instead, they have a thick, leathery “dental pad” on the top of their mouths.

Smart Smile Tip: Giraffes may use a dental pad, but humans rely on healthy gums. Make flossing a part of your daily routine to keep your smile healthy.

Happy Word Otter Day! 💙 Did you know North American river otters have built-in swim goggles? They have a special third eyelid called a nictitating membrane that protects their eyes and helps them see perfectly clearly underwater.

Come see our river otters in action and you will find them running, splashing, and playing with some fun enrichment!

We are giving our three tree roos their flowers (literally and metaphorically) for World Tree Kangaroo Day! 💗🌸

Native to the mountainous cloud forests of Papua New Guinea, the endangered Matschie's Tree Kangaroo functions as an indicator species. This means the health of their population directly reflects the health of their entire ecosystem. By spreading awareness about these marvelous marsupials, we can continue to help protect them and their habitats for generations to come!

🦩🩺 Our flamingo flamboyance had their annual exams!

Thanks to the incredible teamwork of zookeepers and vet staff, our 19 flamingos all received full body checkups, annual vaccines, and blood work! Exams like this help our animal care teams ensure everyone is looking and feeling good, and allows them to provide prompt care if anything needs to be addressed. Great work, team!
