🐘💙 Wellness starts with trust! Our elephants participate in daily cooperative husbandry with their keepers. By learning to voluntarily present their tongue, feet, ears, and more, our girls can actively participate in their own healthcare.

🐧 Penguins are waddling back to Roger Williams Park Zoo, marking the first time penguins have been a staple there since 2013. The penguins are considered a “vulnerable” species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. qrcd.org/8bwG

Today was Zoo Day at the State House, and the Roger Williams Park Zoo brought some of their "animal ambassadors" to visit. I was very honored to be recognized by the Zoo, along with my colleagues Rep. Scott Slater and Julie Casimiro, for our support.

Cathartes, the turkey vulture, is striking a pose! A horaltic pose that is. This stance, known as the "horaltic pose", helps vultures thermoregulate and dry off any damp feathers after cool evenings by soaking in the sun's UV rays. 📸 Keeper Courtney

It's Tooth Time, presented by Delta Dental! 🦷 These are Westley, the Linne's two-toed sloth's teeth! #Didyouknow - two-toed sloths have 4 canine-like premolars that are large and resemble fangs. Sloth teeth also lack enamel and grow continuously. deltadentalri.com

It’s #WorldGiraffeWeek & we’re sticking our necks out to celebrate our planet’s tallest land mammal! DYK: 🦒Each giraffe’s spot pattern is totally unique, like a fingerprint! 🦒Their tongues are super long (18-20 inches!) 🦒 A group of #giraffes is called a tower.

With Monday & Tuesdays extreme heat warning, I was given the opportunity to see how Roger Williams Park Zoo keeps their animals cool on days like these. The animals are also given the choice to cool off inside. ABC6 News Desk
