🐊 Our West African dwarf crocodile recently received a wellness exam including a CT scan, and we’ve officially confirmed… Jino is a female!
Determining the sex of this species isn’t always straightforward - it requires internal examination to know for sure.

Anyone who would like to attend a Free Day must register online once tickets are released. As a reminder, Free Day tickets will not be available on-site at the Zoo entrance.

Carter, one of our golf carts, visited the Animal Hospital for a routine exam including wheel/oil work and an engineoscopy. Carter works hard every day helping our Veterinary team transport animals and supplies across the Zoo, so we want to be sure he's running at his very best. 🚘🔧 #AprilFoolsDay
We're thrilled to welcome two new male alpacas! While they don't have names yet, they're already making quite the impression.
