A Message from Cristal Torres DeHerrera
@DenverZoo in the Wild
All hail the queen! Happy 46th hatchday to Indy, our beloved Egyptian vulture and one of the most iconic residents at DZCA! 🎂
Born April 30, 1980, Indy is nothing short of extraordinary. The maximum recorded lifespan for an Egyptian vulture in human care is 37 years, and our girl is thriving at 46 with the grace and regality she`s always carried. 👑
At DZCA, Indy is treated like the royalty she is. She enjoys temperature-controlled indoor access year-round, and when she does make an appearance outside, you`ll find her holding court in the Primate Panorama Forest Aviary, where she has called home for decades.
Her longevity is a testament to the exceptional, dedicated care she receives from her team every single day, and a reminder of what`s possible when animals are truly known, loved, and cared for.
Here`s to 46 magnificent years, Indy. We love you endlessly. ✨

🐴 We were thrilled to show @5280.miles around DZCA!
During his visit, the Denver Broncos mascot stopped to meet guests and say hello to some of our animal residents, including the sea lions, Przewalski’s horses, flamingos, penguins, Taji the clouded leopard, and the amazing animals of Tropical Discovery.
Thanks for spending the day with us, Miles! We had a blast and of course...
GO BRONCOS! 🧡💙🏈

Everyone meet Frances, aka Frannie!
This little one is a member of our Critically Endangered bongo family who was born to mom Fern and dad Howard early this year. Thanks to the support of Donna, one of our generous donors, we have the joy of welcoming and sharing the name of this calf.
Stop by and say hi to Frannie on your next visit!
