Golden Frog Day is tomorrow, and we can't wait to celebrate with you! 🐸

The Panamanian golden frog is Panama’s national animal and also a symbol of good luck. Sadly, due to the deadly chytrid fungus, the golden frog is functionally extinct in its natural range and now relies on conservation programs like ours to survive.

To celebrate this national icon, we'll have our annual Rana Dorada parade, bilingual story times led by Grupo Cultural Latinos En Rochester, Inc., traditional dance performances, Insider Chats, and more.

We hope to see you all there!

Today is , and we want to take a moment to acknowledge our incredible animal care team for their work with Timber, the senior male gray wolf.

In May, Timber was diagnosed with a progressive spinal condition. This diagnosis has dramatically changed how we care for him however, our commitment has remained the same: to provide thoughtful, expert care, ensuring he has the best quality of life possible.

Today, we want to recognize the skill, compassion, and resilience our teams bring to this work, especially during more challenging chapters like these.

Genny C, Lilac, and Moki aren't just the only herd of African elephants in New York State. 🐘They're also ambassadors for their species, helping inspire the next generation of conservationists!

For , we're shining a spotlight on some of the issues that one of Africa's most iconic species faces and how you can help. ❤️

African elephant populations have declined by more than 60% since the 1970s due to poaching and habitat loss. That's why we're proud to support the International Elephant Foundation, whose work helps protect elephants through research, education, and conservation efforts worldwide.

You can help too by attending a ZooBrew or by donating!

Our red panda family just got a little bigger! 🐼🥰

Monroe County Executive Adam Bello and Zoo officials have officially announced the arrival of a female red panda named Rose!

Rose arrived at the Seneca Park Zoo from Zoo Atlanta yesterday evening. She was transferred here on a breeding recommendation made by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Red Panda Species Survival Plan (SSP).

Before she makes her public debut, she’ll need a little bit of time to get comfortable in her new home. In accordance with AZA standard quarantine procedures, Rose will not be visible to the public for approximately 30 days.

Stay tuned for more updates!
