We are thrilled to announce the birth of a female klipspringer! Klipspringers remain in a quiet, secluded space during the early stages of their life to avoid predators. These photos show the smaller dark privacy shelter inside which the calf spends most of her time.

Giraffes Rae, Finely, and Etana enjoy myriad feeders that make mealtime more interesting! Help us make mealtime fun by purchasing a share of a "holey money feeder"—a large, durable feeder that promotes natural foraging behavior—from our Wish List. https://t.co/qtqK4W92HK

It is a common belief that winters in Edmonton, Canada are too harsh for raccoons, which is one reason it is so exciting that one was spotted on an Urban Wildlife Information Network camera! @LPZ_UWI

Isn't it *ironic* to see Alanis, Miranda, and Queen on your timeline this morning? Life certainly does have a funny, funny way of helping you out. 😉

While buildings are closed now, if you've visited Regenstein African Journey, you've definitely heard a certain Echo. Echo, the red-billed hornbill. Keeper Chris snapped this beautiful shot of the charismatic bird! #FromAKeeper 📸 Chris Garcia

Healing is coming.

Thank you, Sandra.

Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

.@JoeBiden and I are ready to get COVID-19 under control. We’re ready to rebuild our economy. We’re ready to meet the challenges of the climate crisis. We’re ready to act to address systemic racism. And we’re ready to fight for you.

Just some beautiful historic architecture, incredible wildlife, and a 1-year old with her apple! Thanks for keeping us safe @Shedd_aquarium while always providing us with a great experience. #savingspecies
