🦒 ICYMI: Thorn is moving on to his next big adventure!
Thorn has not only stolen hearts since day one, but as Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance`s first giraffe calf born in nearly a decade, Thorn has been a symbol of hope for this Endangered species since his birth in March 2025. This May, he`ll permanently join the herd at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo as part of a carefully planned AZA Species Survival Plan recommendation, helping ensure a genetically diverse, sustainable giraffe population for generations to come.
During the same move, you can give a warm welcome home to Thorn’s dad, Jasiri, and one of CMZoo’s females, Panya!
🎟️ Grab your tickets to see him before May 1 at denverzoo.org and come say bon voyage to one of the wildest, most lovable little giraffe we know.

🦇 Happy #BatAppreciationDay!
Here at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, we`re home to a bachelor pad of five Indian flying foxes: Khirni, Bilimbi, Chikoo, Jamun, and Karonda. They’re named after fruits native to the regions of South and Central Asia where their wild counterparts roam.
Indian flying foxes are frugivores, meaning they dine on fruit, flowers, and nectar. And they`re not just adorable eaters; they`re vital pollinators, dropping seeds as they feed and helping regrow native plant life across their range.
We know bats can get a bad rap, but our animal care team will tell you: spending time with these guys changes everything. They`re shy at first, but with patience and training, they`re eager to hang out.
They’re currently behind the scenes for maintenance work on their habitat, but you can see them soon in Village Hall!
