Purrfection Ocelot is 24 years old, which is the equivalent of over 100 in human years. She is the epitome of the perfect looking ocelot, which explains her name. Her markings are extraordinary and demonstrate why this species was almost hunted out of existence for its fur. Watch this rare up close view in 3D 180VR!
Our summer MyZoo coloring contest was inspired by Sempurna the baby tapir and mom, Ulan. The Seattle Watermelon is growing up and her true colors can be seen in these lovely renditions of mom and baby in our contest entries. Thank you to all the amazing artists who sent in their beautiful artwork.
“Shifting” is when animals voluntarily move from one space to another and the African Rainforest primates frequently shift between habitats depending on the weather or to gain access to new enrichment. Last Wednesday was Mosi’s birthday, so the Eastern black-&-white colobus shifted right under the feet of guests to get access to birthday treats!
