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 when an animal may be off view or given access to their indoor space in order for our team to provide the best care possible.

Wolf Woods is closed due to construction on new African penguin habitat. Mexican Wolves, Otters, etc. will not be on view.

Bat Eared Fox in Animal Ambassador Center will be off view until further notice.
