    A look at our baboons enjoying some browse enrichment at the zoo. Our keepers cut the browse from around the zoo grounds and give it to our animals to encourage their natural feeding behavior. The baboons will usually eat the leaves and play with the branches.

    Enjoy this with Oatmeal the sheep taking a walk in her harness with our newest Keeper Tiffani. Going for a walk is a great form of enrichment for the sheep.

    It’s been a pretty hot summer this year but fennec foxes are used to the heat. In the wild they live in the Sahara desert which is one of the hottest, driest places on Earth!

    The redtail catfish gets its name from the red coloring that can be found on its tail and fins. On your next visit, see if you can spot one!

    On your next visit to the zoo, you might spot our Styan's red panda basking in the sun, climbing trees, napping or enjoying some bamboo. We can’t help but smile while observing them.
