Happy birthday to a one-in-a-melon chimp! 🍈
Berny turned 32 last week! His story was recently featured in an article by The NYT Athletic! The piece explores the lasting impact of the entertainment industry on chimpanzee development and why proper care matters.

Spotted at the vet hospital this week—Harley the hyena! 🦷💚
Harley came in for her checkup (and some dental pampering). Our keepers noticed she was having a little trouble chewing, but four root canals later and Harley’s on the road to feeling much better!
