It’s #BatWeek, and we’re highlighting the very misunderstood vampire bats! 🦇 Though their name sounds spooky, these tiny mammals play a vital role in ecosystems. They don’t suck blood as myths suggest—instead, they use razor-sharp teeth to make a tiny cut and lap up the blood with their specialized tongues, aided by a special anti-coagulant in their saliva called "draculin." Beyond their unique feeding habits, bats are essential pollinators and help control insect populations, making them crucial to our planet’s health.
Tropical Discovery is open again, so stop by to catch a bat feeding demo and see these creepy cuties in action!

From October 29 through November 3, you’re invited to visit the ofrenda and bring a copy of a photo (please note that photos won`t be returned) of a beloved pet or animal, to be honored and remembered.
This enrichment is out of this world! 🚀🌙 Pecan and Cashew, our leucistic rescued raccoon sisters, recently enjoyed space-themed Halloween enrichment, expertly crafted by Volunteer Salo de la Torre! They had a blast foraging for tasty treats in spaceships and hanging out with paper-mâché aliens. This enrichment not only keeps them mentally and physically stimulated, but also helps them bulk up for the colder months ahead. We love these two to the moon and back and are dedicated to giving them everything they need to thrive in our care! 👽🦝🤍
It’s been a wild fall! From Bigfoot sightings to coordinated costumes, there has been no shortage of smiles this month during Wild Fall and Boo at the Zoo. 🧡 Check out some of these sweet smiles from one of our lesser kudus and a few of our guests during today`s #SmileSaturday, presented by @deltadentalco. Be sure to swing by this weekend and catch all of our real and mythical animals enjoying the crisp autumn evenings and the fun fall vibes! 🍂🎃 Tickets available at link in bio.
