This week with the passage of Prop 422, Tucson voters chose to continue a one-tenth-of-one-percent sales tax that supports Reid Park Zoo.

All of us at the Zoo, including the animals – from the largest elephant to the tiniest dart frog - are incredibly grateful to everyone who showed up at the polls in support of the Zoo. It means the world to us!

This important funding supports animal care and well-being, habitat improvements, and the Future of Your Zoo. We are so proud to call Tucson home and excited for what comes next.

It was a big week for our bull elephant, Tsavo!

A few months ago, Tsavo broke his right tusk. His care team has dedicated hours of training and care to this fractured tusk, while collaborating with a team of experts from around the country on planning a procedure to evaluate his tusk. Tsavo had world-class anesthesiologists (including a doctor from CSU Veterinary Health System), a dental specialist team, Zoo medicine specialists, world-renowned elephant trainers, and added muscle from the Tucson Fire Department joining our dedicated care team to make this procedure a success.

Tsavo has been recovering well with the rest of the herd, whom you can visit in the Expedition Tanzania section of the Zoo or on our Zoo Cams.

Love birds and want to join our Reid Park Zoo volunteer community?

We're on the lookout for Outdoor Aviary Monitor volunteers who will enjoy interacting with the birds and guests, helping ensure both have a positive experience in our aviaries — including the new Pathway to Asia aviary!

To spice things up, if the Volunteer Department reaches its goal of bringing on 25 new Aviary Monitor volunteers to the team by November 13, the volunteers will get to choose the design our Volunteer Services Supervisor, Leroy, will shave into his head. So be sure to share this with a fellow bird lover.

🐦 Volunteer applications are here: https://reidparkzoo.org/about/volunteer/

🎶 The pumpkin smash, it's an elephant yard bash! 🐘
Seasonal enrichment, like pumpkins in fall, makes all the elephants in the yard have a ball. Encouraging natural behaviors like ripping up gourds, the elephant herd never gets bored.

Smash Bash at Reid Park Zoo is a fall favorite to walk through! Visit on Saturday, November 7 for a day at the Zoo where all the animals receive gourds — it's such a magnificent sight you'll be floored.

So small, so fierce, and so ridiculously adorable.

Enjoy this supercut of Buttercup the cape thick-knee in full fluff. Her squint is known to make full-grown adults quake in their boots. She tends to hide in the shrubs of the Flight Connection aviary if you dare to visit her in person.
