🐿️🍂 Meet Marshall and Beck, our two Prevost’s squirrels, also known as tri-colored squirrels for their striking black, white, and chestnut fur. Native to the forests of Southeast Asia, these energetic explorers love to jump, climb, and shred their way through a day full of enrichment!

You can find Marshall and Beck in Emerald Forest. Stop by on your next visit to watch their playful antics and learn more about their fascinating species in honor of #SquirrelAwarenessMonth!

🏉 We had some amazing visitors at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance last week — professional rugby players Lori Cramer (Australia) and Charli Jacoby (USA)! ✨

During their visit, they stopped by Down Under to say hi to our wallabies, watched Marshmallow’s training session with our Animal Care team, and learned how our specialists create enriching experiences for the more than 2,500 animals who call DZCA home. 🐾

We loved sharing our passion for animal care and conservation with these incredible athletes, thanks for spending the day with us!
