These guys are classed as "endangered", it's the second time I've seen one on this road so I'm gonna ask the township to put a turtles crossing sign up.

@thetorontozoo.bsky.social has a breeding program for these guys & you should definitely visit & see the babies, they are SO cute 😍

You’re invited to come and see 21 beautifully hand-painted rain barrels - designed by talented local high school artists and on display near the Temporary Front Entrance until April 25, 2025!
On this #InternationalForestDay, we turn the clock back and go to June 2024 when members of your Toronto Zoo travelled to Madagascar.

Did you know? Sumatran orangutans, listed as critically endangered through the IUCN, can ride on their mother's back for up to two and a half years and aren't usually independent until the age of four. They will reach full physical and social maturity at around 13.
Did someone say it’s almost April? 🧡🦧

As critically endangered Sumatran orangutan Wali approaches his 3rd birthday on April 8, he continues to grow and gain more independence under the watchful eye of second-time Mom, Sekali.
