Lolani is getting promoted to big sister!
Parker, our female gibbon, is pregnant and expecting baby #2 with our male gibbon, Milo! She is due in July.
White-cheeked gibbons are classified as critically endangered so this is a huge win for conservation!

Need some inspiration for your next yoga session? Look no further than our grizzly bear, Jackson!
Whether he's perfecting his 'Downward Bear,' reaching for his toes, or just vibing in a deep stretch, Jackson moves at his own pace—and only when he feels like it. Because, well... he's a bear.

Tamarr is the king of the Akron Zoo. At 19, he is an elderly lion, which brings new health challenges. However, Tamarr is able to participate in his own healthcare! Would you consider donating for #GivingZOOday to help us to provide great care to our animals? bit.ly/3VmQxoO
