Update on the littles! The tiny Solomon Island leaf froglets hatched at the Zoo last month are doing well and hunting fruit flies. These frogs are one of the few frogs with no tadpole stage. The froglet’s current size is still smaller than a skittle! 🐸

Walruses have an incredibly powerful suction ability! This enables them to create a vacuum-like seal when feeding on the ocean floor in the wild. 🪸 By using their muscular tongues, they can easily suck up mollusks, clams, and other small invertebrates from the sandy seabed. 🐚 Happy #WalrusAwarenessWeek

Sound up for walrus holiday carols! 🎵 Walruses are among the most vocal of all pinnipeds (seal family). They produce growls, roars, whistles, grunts, barks, and more for communication. A male walrus roar can reach levels of up to 120 decibels, making them one of the loudest sounds produced by marine mammals. So, when a male walrus is feeling vocal, they can make quite a splash with their impressive serenades. 🌊 Happy Walrus Awareness Week! 🎉
