There’s nothing like a summer swim. 🏊

One of our favourite things about summer is seeing our female black bear ‘Teslin’ go for a dip. Did you know that black bears are capable swimmers? Black bears will stay cool, catch fish, and even move around by swimming! 🐻

We're wetting our plants with excitement about the opening of Asian Highlands - literally! 💧

One of the final stages of preparing this exciting new space is planting the flowers, plants, and shrubs that bring habitats to life. 🌿
