We’re not lion when we say we can’t believe how big Guion, Alpine Lily, Poppy and Olive have gotten! Our African lion cubs are growing bigger by the day and have officially surpassed 100 pounds at just eight months old.
Be sure to keep an eye out for them during your next visit! 🦁

We’re pinching ourselves because we can’t believe we have some of the coolest crustaceans around. Say hello to some of Tropical Discovery`s crabbiest residents: the porcelain anemone crab and our various hermit crabs.
Stop by and shell-ebrate #InternationalCrabDay with us!

Happy #WorldVeterinaryDay, a day dedicated to celebrating the veterinary profession and the lifesaving worked performed by these experts!
Did you know that DZCA has a team of five full-time veterinarians? Four are Board-Certified Specialists in Zoological Medicine™ and are experts in the clinical care of zoo and wildlife species. Out of the approximately 300 Board Certified Specialists in Zoological Medicine™ around the world, we’re honored that these distinguished veterinarians—Dr. Jimmy Johnson, Dr. Jennifer Hausmann, Dr. Spencer Kehoe and Dr. Dan Cutler—work right here at DZCA! Also part of this passionate and dedicated team is Dr. Sushan Han, a Board-Certified Veterinary Pathologist, whose specialty is investigating and understanding the diseases that threaten wildlife.
Together, they exemplify our commitment to advancing the care of our animals and furthering the field of zoo and wildlife medicine through innovation and scientific understanding. From tiny tree frogs to Asian elephants, our Veterinary Medicine team ensures that every one of our animals receives the absolute best care possible.
You may be able to catch our Vet Med team in action next time you visit our state-of-the-art Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Animal Hospital. Please join us in thanking them for all their hard work in the comments below!
