Gogo the gopher tortoise loves going on enrichment walks to eat grass and clover! In addition to his "hot tortoise walks," he also enjoys a regular diet of hay, leafy greens, squash, carrot, sweet potato, bell pepper, and green beans, as well as different browse items. #OnlyZooATL (photo: Claire T.)

We're so excited to welcome four adorable lesser Madagascar hedgehog tenrecs to Wieland Wildlife Home! These littles were born to mom Thistle and dad Lance on May 23 and are about the size of a strawberry. All four pups are doing well, and Thistle is being a great mom! #OnlyZooATL (videos: Becky Y.)
👟🐾 Lisa and I did the Zoo Atlanta Run Like Wild 5K this morning, which was adorable! We kept the fun going with Zumba in the park right after—I refuse to move until tomorrow. 😂

Four photos in a grid featuring various animal lanterns and displays at night. The lanterns featured are a panda under an arch of flowers with a sign “Illuminights”; a tiger and tiger cub; Chinese-inspired dragon and various plants; and three more pandas. There is a slight glow to the lanterns due to the lens filter.
Four more photos in a grid. The lanterns featured here is a pegasus carrying a wagon; lemurs climbing bamboo stalks; a nautilus and various plants; and a ‘forest’ of red blossom flowers.
