Vancouver Island marmots at the ABC)reside in enriching habitats that support their natural behaviours—like burrowing! Each pair has indoor and outdoor spaces, including a 4-foot-deep soil-filled basin where they can burrow. Seen here is 'Elin', covered in dirt after a dig! 🐾

Spring upgrades at the ABC! 🌿🐸 Animal Care Technicians Kristina and Cannice showcase one of the newly redesigned ‘islands’ for northern leopard frogs. These refreshed islands are sleeker, less bulky, and now installed in frog habitats to support their care and comfort!

🦉 Unlike many other owls that are fully nocturnal, burrowing owls are active in the day AND at night. 💤☀️ While they may prefer to hunt at night, during the day they can often be found around their burrows, or perched nearby on fence posts or low shrubs.#WilderTogether

Spotted on camera in Eburu Forest, Kenya — a female bushbuck visits a mineral lick to take in vital nutrients from the salty soil. These natural licks support the health of countless species in the wild. 🦌 #CameraTrap #WilderTogether #ConservationMatters

‘Fiona’, a Vancouver Island marmot, with some fresh willow browse at the Archibald Biodiversity Centre (ABC). Fresh browse—including twigs, branches, shoots, and leaves—provides fiber and supports both physical health and mental stimulation for species like marmots. 🌿
