Animal News Please note: While our goal is to provide opportunities for our visitors to see all the animals in our care, there are times where an animal may be off view or given access to their indoor space in order for our team to provide the best care possible. Due to extreme heat over the next several days- many animals may be given access to their bedroom area, be kept off view, or are on view- but in a shady place to keep cool. Click here for weekend animal encounters! Takins will have access to their indoor areas today due to extreme heat. Bears will have access to their indoor areas today due to extreme heat. Black rhino female and calf will not be on view due to habitat construction. Cheetah Encounter will be a chat instead, due to extreme heat.
