Even crocs need their check-ups! Lyle the crocodile underwent a routine physical exam this week. Exams like these require a huge amount of planning and teamwork to ensure the health and safety of our staff and the animal, and we’re happy to share that everything went smoothly for Lyle, who at 46-years-old is the oldest resident in the Tropical Forest exhibit! Measuring approximately 5 feet long and weighing 57 pounds, our patient appears to be in good health and was back on exhibit immediately following his exam.
After four months of working with her care team, Lucille the bearcat is ready to attend her first University of Cincinnati basketball game. Many UC students don’t know what a bearcat is, even though that is the university’s mascot, and most have never seen one!

This week, Glenda – lead keeper in the Canadian Wilds – introduces our resident whooping crane, Cyclops, shares her passion for saving endangered species, and her love of how things roll with the seasons in the Canadian Wilds! Thanks to ConocoPhillips Canada for their continued commitment to whooping cranes by funding our Whooping Crane Recovery Program.
