Roar & Snore Safari, at the Park

Captivating Kayode

Kayode, an 11-day-old, male southern white rhino calf, is taking "charge" at the Safari Park these days, romping with his mom, Kacy, and showing the other animals in the East African Plains exhibit who’s boss! Kayode, whose name means "he brings joy" in the West African language of Yoruba, is the 93rd southern white rhino born at the Park, and the 6th third-generation calf. Kayode is the first southern white rhino born here in eight years, so we are all kicking up our heels to celebrate! You can see him from the African Tram Safari.

"Takin" about Baby Linshuh

He's scampering around his exhibit and learning the finer points of head-butting—and he's only a month old! We're talkin' of course about our newest takin calf, Linshuh, who's keeping things lively at the Zoo's Panda Trek. His silvery coat and birth this year, in the year of the snake, helped earn him his name: it means "silver snake" in Mandarin.

New Koalas in Town

 There are some fuzzy new faces around the Zoo these days, as our koala colony welcomed a trio of new members from the Land Down Under. The lovely new lady koala is petite little Beejay. Two males accompanied her: ginger-bellied Simba, and oh-so-cuddly Bradley. The newcomers will join the rest of the gang in our new koala exhibit in the Conrad Prebys Australian Outback, opening May 24.

Watch a video about the new arrivals!
