Dingo Pups Make Headlines Again
|
For all our dingo fans, we've created an ID sheet that shows each pup's photo, name, and gender. Print a copy for your next zoo visit and see if you can identify each pup! (Remember, not all pups may be in the exhibit each day.) Don't wait too long to check out these energetic youngsters - like all babies, they are growing up too fast.

Celebrate MOM on Mother's Day, May 13
Mother's Day is a great day to treat mom with a special family outing to the zoo. It's also a chance to share information on MOM - Missing Orangutan Mothers. From 11 AM- 3 PM, members of the Little Turtle Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) will share information on the plight of wild orangutan mothers and babies.
Orangutan mothers and babies have an incredibly close relationship. Their mothers teach everything about survival in the forest before the youngsters set out on their own. Because of the growing demand for palm oil, though, more and more orangutan mothers are being killed every year on the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra.
At the MOM event, look for activities and information on how you can help wild orangutans at the entrance to the Indonesian Rain Forest.
