Our female Malayan tiger, Dara, has been recommended by the Malayan Tiger SSP for a breeding match at @littlerockzoo. As she prepares for this important next chapter, Dara has completed all necessary medical evaluations with our veterinary team to ensure she is ready for her move. While we will miss her, we are excited for the role she will play in supporting the Malayan Tiger SSP. Guests are invited to visit Dara one last time April 2–4 in the Tiger Pool habitat to wish her well on her journey.
Our Malayan tigers, Bhatari and Penari, will remain at the Zoo as a breeding pair.

Happy Learn About Butterflies Day! Fresno Chaffee Zoo is a proud partner of AZA`s SAFE program for the North American Monarch. Monarchs are a vital pollinator species for our ecosystem but are facing threats of habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. The AZA SAFE Network is working to increase pesticide-free native milkweed and install wildlife-friendly landscaping in cities and towns to increase populations of monarchs and helpmake their migration journeys safer. You can help support pollinators like the monarch by planting native flowers in your garden. Visit the link in bio to find native plant guides to turn your space into a pollinator haven.
