October is ! We’re celebrating the occasion by making masterpieces with some unexpected artists. Watch Keeper Amanda set up a fun and creative enrichment activity for our Rodrigues Island fruit bats.

Enrichment activities like this may look silly and fun, because they are! But they also serve as an opportunity to build trust between keepers and the animal. In addition to relationship building, it gives keepers a chance to closely observe the animal, ensuring they are happy and healthy. So it's not all fun and paints!

Besides being talented artists, Rodrigues Island fruit bats deserve a month of appreciation for the important role they and all bats serve in their native habitats. Bats, often miscategorized as pests or “creepy,” help their environments in many different ways, including pollination, pest control, and seed dispersal. Meaning, without bats, our world would look vastly different. So give our winged friends a little appreciation; they deserve it.

Thank you everyone that came out for Dog Days, Howl-o-ween! We love seeing all of your four-legged friends roaming the zoo, taking in the sights and smells. There were some excellently dressed pups that entered our costume contest, making for some stiff competition. Stay tuned for voting and results.

Special thanks to Anthony's Paper Supply for their support and donation of these handy "Knot-a-bags"! We couldn't do events like these without support from partners like them.

From our lions down to this sweet chinchilla, every resident at the Pueblo Zoo relies on 24/7/365 care! 🐭🦁

Our dedicated team works around the clock to provide specialized diets, medical care, and safe habitats. Measure 2B secures that daily care through a 1/6th-cent sales tax (less than 2¢ on a $10 purchase)—locked by law strictly for animal care and zoo operations.

Ballots have already arrived in Pueblo. Support our zoo family and the incredible team behind them: fill out your ballot and VOTE YES ON 2B! ➡️ ourzootheirfuture.com
