We all have best friends, and animals are no exception. Often you hear zoos bringing animals together in order to breed, but Deuce and Zarina are one of the exceptions. With both lions no longer being recommended by the Species Survival Plan (SSP) to breed due to their age, it was instead recommended that they come together for companionship. Guests can often find the duo napping together, grooming each other, and even sharing some yawns with a friendly nuzzle 🦁 | Blank Park Zoo

Earlier this week Bakari, the reticulated giraffe, set out on a big adventure to his new home! Bakari's move was rcommeneded by the reticulated giraffe Species Survival Plan (SPP) to join a new herd at another accredited facility. We could not be more proud of our Large Mammal animal care team as they made this process as stress free as they could for Bakari. We wish him safe travels and hope to share more once Bakari's new home announces his arrival 🦒 | Blank Park Zoo

Their thinner fur and sweat glands will actually help them manage their temperature in the coming warmer months! 🎥: Keeper Skyler | Blank Park Zoo

Shark sighting 🦈👀 Next time you walk through the Discovery Center, swing by the big reef aqaurium and see if you can spot the new bamboo sharks, Snoopy & Pluto! These bottom-dwellers use their strong pectoral fins to "walk" along the ocean floor in search of food. They’re masters of disguise, resting during the day and becoming more active after sunset. 🌊 | Blank Park Zoo
