Meet the newest babies at the meerkat habitat! The cuddle level is off the charts. 📈

Meerkat pups often huddle together for warmth and bonding. These snuggle piles, or adorable meerkat mounds, are a natural part of their highly social behavior. 💕

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Resplendent Quetzal #CostaRica

#birds #nature 🌿
Stunning jewel-toned bird perched on a lichen-covered branch, showcasing brilliant emerald green plumage with hints of burgundy. Its striking blue-green crest stands tall above an alert black eye and bright orange-yellow beak. The elegant long tail feathers cascade downward, displaying layers of iridescent green with dark tips. Soft moss and delicate tropical foliage surround this magnificent creature, creating a serene natural setting that highlights its extraordinary colors.

An important lesson from Jean-Luc Picard that I’m still sharing all these years later.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

One minute of adorable Ume snacking on lettuce. 🥬 The baby tapir now has four teeth growing in and is 25 days old. Guests will be able to see Ume and Yuna later this spring. 🌸

Ruby, our playful 9-year-old ground hornbill, loves to go on adventures with her care team around zoo grounds! Although she can fly, ground hornbills spend most of their time walking while looking for food. Ground hornbills are very vocal, using their wattles to make loud calls. #lovehornbillsday

At just 17 days old, baby Ume has already doubled in size, now weighing an impressive 47 pounds! Our adorable Malayan tapir calf is growing fast and will soon outgrow her stripes and spots, which will fade around six months of age.

Hi, Freya! 👋 To camouflage in the treeless tundra in the wild, Arctic foxes are brown in summer and turn white in winter to blend in with the snow. ❄️
