Happy #WorldPorcupineDay! Empanada got some sun recently. As you can see, his orange fur has started to go away and his quills are coming through. They grow up so fast 🥲
Say hello to Naji, our newest little champion stepping hoof on the African Adventure savannas. Born to mother, Amina, his name means `survivor`. Learn all about the inspiring story that lead to his name choice at our link in bio.
Dara has the right idea for this heat wave 🐅 🌊

Meet Ime (pronounced EE-May). Ime was born May 12th and can be seen at our colobus habitat usually holding tight to mother, Shani, or big sister, Pi. Like all colobus babies, she was born completely white and will begin growing black hair over the next few months.

Its everyone`s favorite `pookiepine` 🥰 . Our baby porcupine now has a name! Named after a delicious Latin American pastry, meet Empanada. He has been growing and munching on leaves completely unaware of his social media stardom.
Over 200,000 species—including not just bees, but also thousands of other insects, birds, and small mammals—play a vital role in pollinating our food supply. You can learn about some of them in our Big Bugs walkthrough exhibit. #PollinatorWeek
It wouldn`t be #PollinatorWeek without highlighting one of nature’s most unexpected pollinators: lemurs! 🌿🦠 In Madagascar, lemurs help traveler`s palm trees thrive by spreading pollen that gets on their dense fur from feeding on their flowers.
Celebrating #PollinatorWeek with a shoutout to our beautiful butterflies! These gorgeous gliders not only add charm to our gardens but also act as effective pollinators alongside bees. You can witness them at work during your next visit at Butterflies & Big Bugs 🦋
