It’s International Day of Veterinary Medicine! Today, and every day, we are so grateful for our dedicated and hardworking vet staff that works to keep our animals healthy.

DYK our Gelada Reserve is open year-round? It opened in 1990 and is representative of the gelada’s natural habitat in the Ethiopian Highlands, where they live at elevations of 5,000 to 14,000ft! Geladas are adapted to cooler mountain temps, and can tolerate the winter months.
Feeling a little blue after the weekend? You can remedy that with a visit to our World of Birds exhibit for some serious bird watching! See if you can spot the blue-headed wood doves in the bee-eaters’ habitat.
Their tails help them balance and their extra-large, fur-covered paws distribute their weight on rocks as well as snow-covered slopes. As you can see, the cubs are getting lots of practice! 2/2
