Did you know DZCA is home to two different porcupine species? Cape porcupines hail from Africa and are among the largest rodents on Earth, while prehensile-tailed porcupines are native to South America and use their tails to grip and climb.
Meet our prickly residents:
Pins & Pie, our Cape porcupines hanging out in Primate Panorama
Lucy, our prehensile-tailed porcupine and Animal Ambassador
Come check them out on your next visit! 🦔

Over the weekend, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance staff, volunteers, friends and family members marched in the 2026 Denver Pride Parade, a tradition we have been honored to participate in for the last eight years.
We know that Loves Comes in All Stripes and we`re proud to be a Zoo for All, welcoming everyone into our colorful and inclusive kingdom—not just this month, but all year long. Happy Pride from DZCA!
