This year’s bison calves are getting so big! 🦬

Bison grow quickly in their first year, packing on muscle as they learn to roam with the herd.

Wishing you a scent-sational Thanksgiving from Sundew! 🦨

The bison are growing in their winter coats! And check out those bison bangs flowing in the wind. During winter months, bison develop extra thick, woolly fur, and even develop tougher skin to stay warm through cold temperatures.

Lettuce take a break and enjoy some crunchies from porcupine Thistle! 🥬 North American porcupines love nibbling leafy snacks, those sharp teeth never stop growing, so all that crunching helps keep them healthy!

Hawthorne the grizzly bear is getting ready for torpor season! 🐻 He’s been busy digging in his outdoor den with those massive claws, which is an essential skill for bears as they prepare to rest through the colder months. 💤
