Happy World Sloth Bear Day! Fresno Chaffee Zoo is a committed partner to the AZA Sloth Bear SAFE program which seeks to protect this vulnerable species from extinction due to habitat loss and poaching by mitigating human-bear conflicts and protecting their native habitats.

Next up for #Skeletober we`re diving under with our giant gouramis. Thanks to their special organ called a `labyrinth organ`, they can breathe air from the surface. This allows them to survive in muddy waters with low oxygen.

Looking for a sign to visit the Zoo? How about two??
Indy and Jubilee have made their habitat debut and can now be seen daily in African Adventure.

Join us this Sunday, October 11th for a celebration of community and belonging at Rainbow Family Day in honor of National Coming Out Day! Enjoy music, art, educational activities, and local food vendors in a welcoming space for all. 🌈 👪 ❤️
A special thank you to our sponsor, @Binationalca, for their ongoing support!
