Orphaned in the wild last year and brought to the zoo by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, these cougar cubs are celebrating their first birthday this weekend
We are saddened to hear of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing, and so honored to be among the organizations she worked closely with during her long and incredible career.
It’s #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek! Stop by the marine life area all week from 10:45 to 2:15 for otter-themed games and a chance to chat with zoo staff and volunteers, as well as our paw-tners from @elakhaalliance.bsky.social!
The Mazama newt is found in only one place in the world: Crater Lake. But this tiny amphibian is disappearing, due to invasive crayfish taking over its habitat. We’ve teamed up with the National Park Service and High Desert Museum to give this rare newt-y cutie a fighting chance.
Egg-citing news! Nine fuzzy California condor chicks hatched at our wildlife conservation center this season. Eventually, they'll be released into the wild to boost the population of this critically endangered species.
These Pacific lamprey are part of a tribal-led effort to restore this ancient and culturally important fish to areas where they used to live. This group of 25 will stay at the zoo through the winter and be transported above the Detroit dam on the North Santiam River once they’re ready to spawn.
Tula-Tu isn't just a flower girl, she's also Grand Marshal of the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade. And although Tula herself won't be there tomorrow, she'll be represented by her care staff, adoring fans and a larger-than-life float!
