DYK these magnificent cats are a key indicator of the health of their high-mountain ecosystems across Asia? Protecting snow leopards and their habitats means protecting countless species and vital water sources!

When I say I really like pumpkin, this is what I mean 🎃 Our armadillos had a real gourd time carving into their pumpkin enrichment filled with buggy treats 😋
Thank you to Confreda Farms for generously donating pumpkins for our animals to enjoy again this year! 🧡

Think snakes are spooky? Think again! 🐍👻 Timber Rattlesnakes are actually silent guardians of our environment. Snakes are incredibly beneficial, helping to keep rodent populations in check and maintaining balance in their habitats.

A fall afternoon cat nap 🍂
Did you know cheetahs sleep around 12 hours a day? These diurnal cats are most active during the cooler mornings and evenings, but rest is very important for conserving their energy for high-speed hunts.

Did you know- a common misconception about Bactrian camels is that they store water in their humps. This isn’t true, their humps actually store fat which provides them with energy when food is scarce! Camels can however use their adaptations to conserve water in other ways. ☀️🐫
