Small Carnivore TAG

It’s the perfect day for a cuddle puddle – it's and female 'Kwanza' turns 11! 💞

Slender-tailed meerkats are a highly social species that form groups called mobs. Mobs are known for their social organization, with each individual playing a role in the group’s success. From grooming each other and taking care of each other’s young, to foraging and acting as lookouts, meerkats know what it means to work together. 🫶

Stop by the African Savannah Building to say hi to Kwanza and our mob!

Beautiful Ms. Willow @ Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden.

This is Willow the ringtail. A relative of the raccoon, the ringtail is a small, nocturnal carnivore commonly found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. An expert climber, the ringtail can climb down trees headfirst by rotating its hind feet 180 degrees. This is quite a helpful skill when chasing down prey or trying to escape from predators itself.

Did you know that our species survival plans here in the US also work internationally? Movements that help impact breeding can happen local or overseas! The Fossa SSP in the US was able to move this valuable breeder to Chester Zoo located in the United Kingdom. Fingers crossed for breeding success and more awareness of this amazing species!
