We’re back with #GuessTheTooth presented by @deltadentalco! Today we’re featuring an incredible dental structure from one of our unique animals. Here’s a hint: these teeth are specially adapted to crush open the hard shells of mollusks and crustaceans.
Can you guess which animal these belong to? Drop your guesses below and come back tomorrow for the big reveal!
🐍 Happy Reptile and Amphibian Awareness Day! 🐸 Today, we celebrate these vital species and their incredible role in ecosystems worldwide. From reducing energy consumption to enhancing habitats, we’re committed to creating a more sustainable future for our reptiles, amphibians, and all species in Tropical Discovery (TD).
In honor of this special day, we’re proud to share that TD was named a runner-up for the 24-Karat Gold Award by the Colorado Green Business Network! 🏅 Our sustainability efforts, including a 63% drop in electricity usage, are making a big impact—reducing our carbon footprint by the equivalent of taking 156 cars off the road!
🌱 We know you’ve missed TD, but we can’t wait to welcome you back to this revitalized and more sustainable space when it reopens on October 26!

Willow our three-banded armadillo, is learning to voluntarily participate in her own healthcare, including ultrasound training!
Through positive reinforcement, her animal care specialists taught her to stand calmly on a custom-made platform, allowing our vets to perform ultrasounds while she’s awake. Not only does this make medical check-ups less stressful for Willow, but it also gives her the choice to engage in her care on her terms.
Ultrasound training is crucial, especially as Willow is part of a Species Survival Plan (SSP) to maintain healthy populations of armadillos. Plus, her training ensures we’re prepared if there are any questions about her health or pregnancy in the future!
We’re proud to prioritize animal wellbeing by giving our animals choice and control in their medical procedures—keeping them happy and healthy! 💚
