More sweet puppy moments! ❤️ Nine critically endangered red wolf pups born April 18 at our offsite facility are growing fast and thriving. From playful tussles with their siblings to taking on a tree branch nearly as big as they are, these curious pups are so much fun to watch as they grow.
These playful pups are an important part of the effort to help save one of the world’s most endangered canids.
The critically endangered American red wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for more pupdates. 🐾

The baby owl has started taking small adventures around Zoo grounds as it continues to grow and build confidence. These curious outings are an important part of development, helping the young owlet practice new skills and become more comfortable for future close encounters.
Laerke is making the most of the warm weather! 🐻❄️💦
When temperatures rise, our 5-year-old polar bear loves cooling off in her saltwater pool. From splashing and diving to playful swims, her pools provide both enrichment and a refreshing way for Laerke to stay comfortable on sunny days. ☀️

Move over, World Cup stars, Hudson is ready for kickoff! ⚽ Our male muskox is showing off some seriously powerful soccer skills as he headbutts and chases a massive "soccer ball." While it looks like fun (and it is!), enrichment plays an important role in animal care by encouraging natural behaviors through physical activity, mental stimulation, and exploration.
At just one week old, our sea lion pup is already making a splash! 🦭💙
While sea lion pups aren`t born expert swimmers, they learn quickly through practice and play. This little guy is getting more comfortable in the water every day. So comfortable, in fact, that he`s been chasing his own flippers around his tiny turtle tub! These early water experiences help build the confidence and skills he`ll need as he grows.
The 26-pound youngster will continue bonding with mom before making his public debut later this summer alongside the rest of the sea lion and harbor seal family.
A healthy start for our newest sea lion pup. 💙
Born June 1, the 26-pound pup recently received his neonatal exam and is doing well. He’s growing, gaining strength, and spending plenty of time bonding with mom, Eloise, behind the scenes.

Sound up for adorable baby howls! ❤️ The seven-week-old Red Wolf pups are finding their voices. The litter includes six males and three females, and is the latest success in recovering this critically endangered species. The American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates. 🐺
