Happy Valentine’s Day! When working with animals, there are definitely times when “Love is in the Air” around here! We are proud of our successful breeding programs here at the zoo and for those who do not breed, successful companion relationships. The picture above is of our Watusi (Ankole Cattle) native to Africa. As you can see they handle the winter very well! The male is larger in weight and stature, but the female has longer horns. This pair had a very beautiful calf born last summer and many of our guests were able to witness the amazing birth. As many of you know, we recently had a few babies born like Daisy the giraffe and a pair of African Crested Porcupines. We’ve also had a llama born and a Debrazza guenon. As zookeepers we are very lucky to be able to witness these exciting events and to care for these wonderful animals…and we are expecting a few more babies before we open! Again, THANK YOU for sharing our love for animals on this cold, snowy Valentine’s Day! We are looking for some towels, boomer balls and blankets as donations for the animals!
