CUBdate: Priya and her baby are doing really well!

CUBdate: Priya and her baby are doing really well! In the video, you’ll learn some fun red panda facts about their pseudo thumbs and ankle bones! You can see both in action as she guides her baby to nurse.

Life lessons from an ostrich: • strut your stuff

Life lessons from an ostrich:
• strut your stuff
• dance like everyone is watching
• know your worth
• when people make fun of your wings because you can’t fly, give them something to talk about (like being the fastest bird to run on land at 43 MPH!)

🕺🪩 Ps. Love disco music and supporting wildlife conservation? Come to our next 21+ Zoo Brew, Disco in the Den! It’s on Wednesday, July 19, 6:30-9:30pm. You might even see Yellow, the ostrich, dance!

Eat when the baby sleeps, or something like that, right? 🤗

For a brief moment today, Priya left the den to eat (mama’s got to eat), leaving us a perfect view of her new cub! We just had to share, because we know it will make your day. The second picture is of Priya and her cub nose to nose. 🥹 Tilt your phone slightly to the left to see it better — Priya’s arms are above her head.

CUBdate: Priya and her cub are thriving. Priya is an attentive mom and her cub is showing signs of developing well. We are feeling proud of, and confident in Priya's abilities to be an excellent mom.

Parents: did you also nest to prepare for your babies??

Here’s more behind-the-scenes footage of Priya, red panda, nesting before she had her cub. She was so busy finding and pulling things in for the perfect, comfy spot!

Let us know if you have any questions👇

We love a polar bear pool party!

The polar bears love playing with different toys! This is Nikita, our 1300 lb male.

Think his paws look huge? That’s because they are! They are the size of a dinner plate. This helps them:
• evenly distribute their weight on ice, especially when it is thin
• get better surface area to grip on ice — the pads on their paws even have special bumps so they don’t slip
• swim more easily (doggy paddle), exerting less energy

🪩🕺Notice his box says “Zoo Brew”? Our next Zoo Brew, on July 19, is themed Disco in the Den. This Zoo Brew supports polar bear conservation through our partners at @polarbearsinternational. Buy your tickets soon, our last Zoo Brew sold out!

CUBdate: Here is one of the important milestones we look for! Thanks to technology, we don’t have to interfere at all, and can just watch in awe as Priya does her thing.

Some fun facts:
• Priya was pregnant for around 4 months, approximately 132 days
• Priya will be the only one caring for the baby, MowMow will not participate in cub care
• Cubs may not be mobile for up to 6 weeks
• Priya and MowMow have both had successful cubs at other zoos with other partners

Nature is amazing!
