Have you ever seen an ostrich dance? In the wild, this “dancing” behavior might attract a mate, demonstrate social hierarchy or even help ostriches communicate. For our resident females Opal and Olive, it's just a bit of fun! 😉

Happy Father's Day from the Saint Louis Zoo! 🐾

In African painted dog packs, dads play a big role raising their pups. Our resident dad, Anubis, is a pro at standing guard, providing food and wrangling pups with mom, Chewie. Keep up the good work, Anubis! #HappyFathersDay
