It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Garcia, 15-year-old male Mexican gray wolf.
As Mexican gray wolves go, Garcia was uncharacteristically bold, curious and playful, which made him a fan favorite by both visitors and animal staff alike.

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of a male pygmy hippopotamus! At two years of age, he weighs “only” 364 pounds! Pygmy hippos are related to the larger, river hippopotamus but are rarely seen in the wild because of their secretive, nocturnal habits.

The green-winged macaw has a very powerful hooked beak, which can generate a pressure of 2000 psi and can snap a broomstick in half. This powerful beak has evolved to crush or open even the hardest nuts and seeds!
