🐒 Happy #InternationalPrimateDay!
From lemurs and mangabeys to gorillas, orangutans, siamangs, and capuchins, you’ll find an incredible diversity of primates in Primate Panorama. Each species is unique, but together they remind us just how important it is to protect their wild homes.
💚 Today and every day, we’re proud to care for these extraordinary primates while working to safeguard their future in the wild.

🌙 Meet some of the Zoo’s most mysterious residents: our two aye-ayes, Bellatrix and Tonks!
Native only to Madagascar, aye-ayes are the largest nocturnal primates and some of the rarest animals you’ll ever see.
With their oversized ears and a special “tapper finger,” aye-ayes can hear insects crawling under tree bark, then chew through wood with rodent-like teeth to scoop them out. Here at the Zoo, we recreate this by hiding treats in cardboard, wood, and metal boxes for them to discover.
💡 Fun fact: Tonks was even featured in National Geographic’s Photo Ark as a baby!
Because they’re nocturnal, our aye-ayes live in the Zoo’s nocturnal exhibit, located inside Emerald Forest, where their light cycle is reversed. If you stop by, take a moment to let your eyes adjust—you may just catch these spooky-cool lemurs in action.
✨ Rare, fascinating, and often misunderstood, aye-ayes are a reminder that the night is full of wonder. Come meet Trixie and Tonks on your next visit!

Here`s a baby pancake tortoise sploot to brighten your Saturday! This behavior generally means a tortoise is relaxed and comfortable, while also allowing for maximized exposure for warmth and vitamin D absorption.
#ICYMI: Just a few months after Maple hatched, we welcomed a second Critically Endangered African pancake tortoise at DZCA! Be sure to stop by and meet our sweet new additions on your next Zoo visit. 🥞🐢
🦧 Happy 2nd Birthday, Siska! 🍌

Every birthday milestone is a reminder of just how important orangutans are to the future of their species. 💚🦧
