Celebrating 130 Years—Together
For 130 years, the Zoo has been a place where Colorado comes a little closer to wildlife—and our story is still being written.

From all the new moms, seasoned moms and soon-to-be moms who call DZCA home, Happy Mother’s Day! 💐
Celebrate the moms or mother figures in your life with a visit to DZCA to say hello to some of our amazing animal moms and the next generation of wildlife they help inspire us to protect. Join us—and all of them—in Saving Wildlife Together!
Our spring baby boom continues! 🧡
Parents Howard and Fern welcomed a female bongo calf on May 3. Because Eastern bongos are Critically Endangered, every birth is an important step for the future of the species, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this special arrival.
Be sure to stop by and say hi during your next visit to the Zoo and help us celebrate this exciting conservation win!

🦎 Happy #InternationalChameleonDay!
Did you know panther chameleons don`t change color just to blend in, they also use color to communicate mood, temperature, and even attract a mate? They’re masters of disguise with stunning color displays and unique hunting adaptations.
Our panther chameleon is hanging out in Tropical Discovery. Come check out this awesome critter!

World Migratory Bird Day is Saturday, May 9, and you can celebrate with us right here at DZCA! This year’s theme, “Every Bird Counts – Your Observation Matters!,” highlights the important role each of us can play in protecting birds and their habitats.
Join us from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the North American Songbird Garden, located across from the entrance to Primate Panorama, to learn how you can support bird conservation in your own backyard and learn more about our community science efforts.
Many wild migratory birds fly through DZCA each year, and beyond our campus, our Colorado Field Conservation team conducts bird surveys at Daniels Park to help monitor local bird populations and support conservation efforts across the state. 🐦🪶
