Where's Sengi?

Earlier this month, our beloved 24-year-old yak took a stroll down the hill to a new corral in the barn. That's because we're in the midst of exciting renovations on her yard! Crews are working right now to expand the corral and add a new, larger barn. The renovated habitat will give guests multiple areas to see her, and it will offer our animal care and veterinary teams more flexibility in her care. If the weather cooperates, we hope she’ll be back in her new-and-improved yard early next spring.

For now, you can see Sengi down in the Barnyard. She’s been doing great, actively participating in her training sessions and enjoying her new neighbors and views at the barn. Come say hi!

Hudson is definitely in the "real tree" camp — hold the ornaments, please. This temporary addition to his habitat adds new sights, smells, textures and enrichment this time of year. Many thanks to our friends at Mahoney's Garden Centers for the donation.

Gimli looking 🔥 in the ❄️

Also known as a firefoxes, red pandas are well equipped to deal with cold and snowy conditions. They have dense fur that covers their entire body—even on soles of their feet!

Bundle up to see Gimli in his element at Stone Zoo for a limited time! He'll be heading back to Franklin Park Zoo when construction on his home wraps up early next year.

Wait, don't scroll! Wildlife needs your voice today.

For more than 50 years, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has protected our nation’s most vulnerable wildlife and habitats. The federal government is now considering rule changes that would severely weaken the ESA, our most powerful tool for saving threatened and endangered wildlife.

Now is the time to speak up for strong wildlife protections. The deadline to submit public comments and support the Endangered Species Act is December 22. Add your voice today!
