Gliding its way into the spotlight, Aquilolamna is an extinct shark species from Mexico during the Late Cretaceous period. 🌊🦈
Filter-feeders, our nutritionists prepare a variety of foods as aquarists engage in hands-off training to examine them with a tasty meal!

Keeper Alex always has a "whale" of a time when working with Minnie, the Ambulocetus. 🐋💕
Minnie received her annual exam looking into her weight, eyes, ears, and teeth! "Minnie is sharp and always has an eager look in her eye during training."

"I had worked with a variety of bird and reptile groups before joining APZ, and it was really put to the test as a care specialist. Theresa is a very special animal, and it was a great opportunity to play a role in her development and growing with the zoo together". (3/3)

Using techniques of modern zoos, animal care staff would apply puppets to associate parental care with a prop to ensure natural behaviors. "We were on the cutting-edge of understanding dinosaurs in those early years" says director of animal care Christian Flores (@crikeyitschristian.bsky.social) 2/3

Who doesn't love a good back scratch? Animals at the #ArtemisPaleozoo are offered different forms of enrichment each day that stimulate their minds and bodies for optimal health. For our Zuniceratops herd, body scratchers are a favorite! #ZookeeperWeek

M.M, the zoo's male Ichthyostega, can't directly tell us he likes the attention and people-watching sessions through the glass, but animal care is taking the hint.

It's #InternationalDinosaurDay! What better way to celebrate and learn more about yourself than answer the question - which APZ dinosaur are you based on your birth month? 🦕🦖

We. Love. Bugs! And at the Amber Vivarium, you'll meet one of the zoo's predators with personality - Gigatitan 🦟🌱
As solitary animals with enlarged, sharp forelimbs, they enjoy insect prey as our modified contact strategy requires specialists to wear protective gloves while handling the species!

On this #WorldFrogDay, here's a look at our amphibious friend, a young Diplocaulus, receiving it's monthly checkup! While still developing its "boomerang-shaped" head, much of the research we do on extinct amphibians has been used to better understand conserving frog populations across the globe. 🐸

A giant theropod of Cretaceous Asia, Therizinosaurus' huge claws are a mesmerizing sight. Theresa, the zoo's female, can be seen often browsing tree-to-tree in her habitat, and keepers note you can hear low, thrumming booms from her when curious of new enrichment or feeling content. 🌴
