September is here! Come see all the things we have going on this month at the Zoo!
We are excited to announce that Masai giraffe, Siku, gave birth to a female calf on August 18th. They are currently behind the scenes bonding and being monitored. This calf comes at a bittersweet time for the Zoo, with Fenny`s recent passing. The birth of his daughter is a bright spot for Zoo staff and guests, and we look forward to you all meeting her.🦒 🤍
Our Fourth of July duo finally have names! 🎆 🎇
Meet Indy & Jubilee! These little firecrackers are named after the holiday they were born on. The female cub is named Jubilee, meaning a special anniversary or celebration. The male cub`s name, Indy, is short for independence.
Our elephant calves Thando and Davu have turned 2 years old! Check out what they`ve been up to and how they`ve been learning new behaviors during training. 🐘 🩷 🐘
Today is #InternationalColobineDay. There are 24 species of colobus monkeys across Africa and many of them are under threat. Fresno Chaffee Zoo is a proud partner of the #ColobusMonkeySAFE program that`s working to protect this incredible leaf-eating primate.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the unfortunate passing of Fenny, our male Masai giraffe. Since May, Fenny had been receiving treatment for a fracture in one of his hooves. The Zoo’s Animal Care and Veterinary teams have worked diligently to treat the injury, including applying a “shoe” to his hoof. During a necessary procedure to evaluate the recovery progress, complications arose under anesthesia and, despite the team’s truly valiant efforts, Fenny passed this morning.
Fenny has been a beloved member of Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s giraffe herd since his arrival at the Zoo in 2019 and served as an educational ambassador for his species.
This is a heartbreaking loss to our Zoo family. Fenny was a key member of our giraffe herd and has had a meaningful impact on the hearts of both staff and guests alike.
We`re celebrating #WorldOrangutanDay with some exciting news to share with you all 🦧 🧡
