Happy Shark Awareness Day! Fresno Chaffee Zoo is a proud partner of the AZA SAFE Shark & Ray program. Sharks play an important role in their ocean ecosystems, helping to maintain fish and other prey populations. Unfortunately, many shark species are threatened by overfishing and habitat destruction. You can help protect sharks by choosing sustainable seafood the next time you shop. Learn more on your next visit at our daily Shark Talk at Stingray Bay!
Enrichment helps keep our animals engaged and sharp, and sometimes it even takes special forms during different seasons. Wallace got to enjoy a little splash pad to cool off his shell. 🐢 💓

We`re thrilled to announce that our female siamang, Safiya, gave birth to a female baby on June 11th. This is Safiyah & Noah`s third daughter at Fresno Chaffee Zoo. They are currently still spending some time behind-the-scenes, but the best chance to see them are weekends, Fri-Sun!
Our white rhino Kayla is sporting a new look. You can see her and the rest of our rhino crash every day at the Zoo. 🦏
