Feast your eyes on this fabulous feast as our gentle geriatric residents enjoy a bountiful breakfast in full 360 video. 👀Watch till the end to see an accidental once-in-lifetime view from inside a tortoise shell. 🤣

It’s a boy! Guests were treated to a giraffic birth this weekend. This is Harriet's 5th calf, and the first offspring for sire, Fred. Given the recent news about the US considering listing giraffes as Endangered, each birth is a boost of hope for the species. Stick your neck out and join our virtual giraffe research team.

In fact, cetaceans are hippos’ closest living relatives. Learn more about 🦛s

People can't stop talkin about this baby takin. Her name is Fēngbào, which means 'storm'—she arrived 1 hour before a thunderstorm. ⚡️
