Cute! ✨ Watch Pedro the penguin chick during a behind-the-scenes Zoo adventure! 🐧 With his little flippers flapping and curious eyes wide, Pedro explored new sights and sounds. These adventures help the fuzzy chick get comfortable with different environments as he continues to grow and thrive.

Ok some folks said yes so 🧵

(Keeping in mind we spend every single day at the beach and value comfort and essentially make it our living room LOL)
My mom and I spend about a month down the shore every summer and have spent years perfecting our beach gear. Are people interested in what we bring?

Happy 520 DAY! (Get it?! 5/20 😅)

We’re throwing it way back to the archives with this vintage shot of the Evergreen Point toll plaza — giving major bell bottoms and exact change energy.

Our best guess: mid-to-late ’70s. ✨🪩

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Happy Birthday 🎉
It’s Wasabi’s 6th birthday! 🎉 He’s a certified floof and politely sniffs everything. The adorable skunk is celebrating today with enrichment treats and meeting some of his fans during our new Wild Wonders show, Zoo’s Got Mail. Please wish this gentle stripe boy the happiest of birthdays. 💕🦨

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Willow and Pretzel, our young muskoxen, received their first extra-large jolly ball for enrichment! They didn’t pop it, but they gave it a good roll and a few curious headbutts, all in the name of fun (and natural behavior, of course). Pretzel just turned two on Monday. Happy birthday, Pretzel!

I went to the park to film some water textures with a fancy ultra slomo camera, but got distracted by ducks, so here is some very wholesome content of ducklings having a great time chasing lil bugs in extreme 900fps slow motion:

Turn up the volume! 🔊 Our Magellanic penguins have a lot to say for World Penguin Day! 🐧 That braying sound? It's how these charming waddlers communicate (and yes, it does sound a bit like a donkey)!

Say hello to our newest (and tiniest) arrivals! For the first time in 11 years, we’re celebrating the birth of two healthy litters of meerkat kits, and they’re already stealing hearts at just one month old! These curious little explorers are thriving under the watchful care of their parents.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick
