Zooming into your feed is another baby (yes, another one!). Meet Ua, our baby warthog! Her name means 'flower'. Zelda & Heathcliffe gave birth to their first piglet on April 25th. You can see this little one sprint around warthog habitat most days from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 🐽 ⏩

Recently, one of our female Cownose rays needed a procedure performed for a benign growth near her mouth. Check out how we perform vet procedures on our aquatic animals.

Our two-year-old red-ruffed lemur, Avana, was caught grooming her mother, Lisa on habitat recently. Grooming sessions like this are more than just for hygienic purposes, but are also ways for lemurs to strengthen social bonds. 🧡 🖤 📹 : ZCS Courtney

Celebrating #PollinatorWeek with a shoutout to our beautiful butterflies! These gorgeous gliders not only add charm to our gardens but also act as effective pollinators alongside bees. You can witness them at work during your next visit at Butterflies & Big Bugs 🦋

It wouldn't be #PollinatorWeek without highlighting one of nature’s most unexpected pollinators: lemurs! 🌿🦠 In Madagascar, lemurs help traveler's palm trees thrive by spreading pollen that gets on their dense fur from feeding on their flowers.

Over 200,000 species—including not just bees, but also thousands of other insects, birds, and small mammals—play a vital role in pollinating our food supply. You can learn about some of them in our Big Bugs walkthrough exhibit. #PollinatorWeek

Its everyone's favorite 'pookiepine' 🥰 . Our baby porcupine now has a name! Named after a delicious Latin American pastry, meet Empanada. He has been growing and munching on leaves completely unaware of his social media stardom.

Meet Ime (pronounced EE-May). Ime was born May 12th and can be seen at our colobus habitat usually holding tight to mother, Shani, or big sister, Pi. Like all colobus babies, she was born completely white and will begin growing black hair over the next few months. 📸: ZCS Heather

Happy #WorldPorcupineDay! Empanada got some sun recently. As you can see, his orange fur has started to go away and his quills are coming through. They grow up so fast 🥲

Desert survival experts: The addax has wide hooves to help them traverse through vast sands and a bright white coat that reflects sun rays and keeps them cool during extreme heat.
