Get the welcome wagon ready—we’ve got new residents moving in this fall! These two southern white rhinos will be the first of their species to call DZCA home in our entire 130-year history. 🦏
Although it might seem like a simple move-in, significant upgrades will be needed to ensure this habitat meets the highest standards of animal care for two young rhinos. The total cost of this transformation, plus safe transportation to Denver, is estimated at over $340,000. With the support of donors like you, we can bring these southern white rhinos to DZCA for the first time ever.
Donate any amount today to support these important habitat updates. Link in bio!
There`s a nip in the air and the leaves are starting to change which means fall has landed at DZCA! 🍂
And we’ve got just the thing to celebrate: Join us on September 24 for The Watering Hole, our NEW, immersive, adult-only fall celebration!
Enjoy an evening of live music, animal demonstrations, expert talks, games and activities, all paired with autumnal bites + bevvies. Try seasonal sips, explore the Zoo after hours and settle into a little fall fun.

Caring for animals means being there through every stage of their lives—from the excitement of welcoming a new baby, to supporting them as they grow and thrive into adulthood, to navigating the challenges that can come with aging, illness, chronic conditions and end-of-life care.
Recently, @cbscolorado journalist Kelly Werthmann spoke with Dr. Jimmy Johnson, our Senior Director of Wildlife Health and Conservation, about whole life care including how our dedicated teams approach end-of-life decisions.
