Double the fluff, double the fun! 🦙
We`re thrilled to welcome two new alpacas to DZCA who arrived earlier this month from Texas. While they don`t have names yet, they`re already making quite the impression with staff and guests!
The smaller, black-headed alpaca with a spot on his cheek is just one year old, while his slightly larger, brown-haired companion is two. The younger one tends to follow the older one`s lead, but both are incredibly curious, especially when it comes to their new llama neighbors. The alpacas are ready to be fast friends, but our longtime llama duo is taking things a bit slower. Our Animal Ambassador Specialists will continue with gradual introductions over the next few weeks.
In the meantime, you can spot them exploring their space, perfecting their dust bath skills and keeping a close eye on the herd they hope to join. As our llamas get older and as the alpacas continue to acclimate, they will step into Ambassador Animal roles like going on walks and interacting with guests.
Be sure to welcome our new additions during your next visit to the Zoo! 🤎🤍🖤
Happy birthday to Bailey and Kerry, our brown capuchin mother-daughter duo! 🎉🐒
Kerry is celebrating 39 and Bailey just turned 44, making Bailey not only the oldest member of her troop, but the oldest primate at DZCA!
To celebrate this incredible milestone, our team decked out their habitat with festive decorations and special frozen treats filled with juice, fruit, and nuts.
With brown capuchins typically living 35–45 years in human care, these milestones are truly remarkable. We’re proud to provide them with the specialized care they need to thrive in their golden years.
Join us in wishing these two a very happy birthday! 🎂

We’ve got some jaw-some news! Five epaulette shark pups have hatched in Tropical Discovery! After about five months of incubation inside their “mermaid’s purses,” these tiny sharks have officially entered the world.
Two of the pups are already on exhibit, with the others potentially joining them soon, so keep an eye out during your next visit!
Epaulette sharks are famous for their ability to “walk” along the seafloor using their fins, helping them navigate shallow reef habitats where other sharks can’t survive. Even as babies, they’re built for life in these ever-changing environments.
Stop by Tropical Discovery to catch a glimpse of these incredible new arrivals! 🦈
