Our Critically Endangered Eastern bongo herd is growing! Parents Howard and Fern welcomed a female bongo calf to the world on August 29. While this baby bongo is shyer and more reserved than previous calves, she’s very sweet, curious and loves exploring with mom by her side. Guests can say hi and celebrate this amazing conservation win during their next visit to the Zoo. Check out a sneak peak in this Baby Bulletin, presented by @intermountain. 🤎

Last year, award-winning photographer and wildlife conservationist, @joelsartore, brought his decades-long project, The PhotoArk, to Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance to continue his quest to photograph more than 20,000 animal species in human care at zoos and aquariums. Multiple species were photographed during his visit including Mahali, our hippopotamus, who shined bright during his time in the limelight. 🦛
The Photo Ark’s portraits symbolize the challenges facing wildlife, and through supporting Sartore’s mission, DZCA helps future generations cherish these species in both photos and reality. Head to the link in our bio to learn more! #SavingWildlifeTogether #PhotoArk #NatGeo @natgeo
#InternationalVultureAwarenessDay was on September 7, and we’re celebrating our Cinereous vultures, nature’s ultimate clean-up crew. By feasting on carrion, vultures help keep ecosystems healthy by preventing the spread of disease. Our nutrition team works closely with animal care specialists to ensure that our vultures receive the best diet possible, mirroring what they’d eat in the wild.
In this latest Sooper Foods Spotlight, presented by @mykingsoopers, Animal Care Specialist Clay Mitchell shares insights into these amazing birds and their vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
