Hello, "Handsome" Stranger!
A male jaguar named Guapo, which means "handsome" or "good-looking," has moved into our cat complex at Elephant Odyssey at the Zoo. Five-year-old Guapo is the fourth big cat to call this area home. We hope he's particularly attractive to Nindiri, our lady jaguar, and that romance (and cubs!) will blossom.
A Dose of Tiger Cuteness
The Zoo's Malayan tiger cubs opened their eyes this week! The two boys are off exhibit right now, being raised by mom Mek, but you can soak in their adorableness in our most recent video.
Flutter to the Safari Park
Come out of your cocoon! The thousands of butterflies at the Safari Park's Butterfly Jungle presented by Baskin-Robbins have, and they're waiting for you! Taking wing through May 8, this year's event is themed "Metamorphosis," and you won't believe your eyes!
