Big Moves for the Herd
DZCA Helps Rescue Venomous Snake Found in Suitcase After …
Our Sumatran Orangutan Family is Growing
@DenverZoo in the Wild
Snakes are an important part of Colorado’s ecosystems. 🐍
Many people see snakes, especially venomous ones, as a threat. In reality, snakes would much rather avoid people and simply be left alone. The best way to stay safe on the trail? Give them space, keep pets on leash, and move calmly in the opposite direction if you encounter one.
Snakes play a valuable role in nature by helping control rodent populations, which benefits both ecosystems and communities.
Want to learn more about these fascinating animals? Visit Tropical Discovery at DZCA to safely see a wide variety of snakes and discover why they deserve a little more appreciation.

Big moves are in store for three Colorado giraffes! 🦒
Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo are announcing some exciting updates coming this May to our endangered reticulated giraffe herds.
Jasiri, a breeding bull who was temporarily transferred from DZCA to @cheyennemountainzoo earlier this year in support of @zoos_aquariums` Species Survival Plan (SSP), will be returning to Denver. He’ll be joined by eight-year-old Panya, a female giraffe who will also be making the move from Colorado Springs on a breeding recommendation.
Also in support of the SSP, Thorn, DZCA’s first giraffe calf in almost a decade, will move permanently to CMZoo. Thorn has become a beloved and well-known member of the herd, with his zoomies, antics, and crowd-pleasing curiosity.
These moves reflect the ongoing collaboration between animal care teams at both zoos to ensure the health and well-being of each individual in our care. This partnership plays an important role in supporting a genetically diverse and sustainable giraffe population in human care.
If you want to visit Panya at CMZoo or Thorn at DZCA before they move, we recommend visiting by Friday, May 1. We’re excited for these next chapters that support giraffe conservation efforts and for what’s ahead for our herds. 🤎🧡
We may not technically have unicorns at the Zoo… but we do have the next best thing. 🦄
Happy #NationalUnicornDay! Meet Tensing, our greater one-horned rhino, and Rudy, our black rhino—two real-life “unicorns” helping represent their species every day.
While they may not be magical in the mythical sense, rhinos are truly extraordinary and critically important to protect. Through expert care and conservation efforts, we’re working to ensure these incredible animals have a future in the wild.
Stop by and celebrate our real-world unicorns on your next visit! ✨
