Not sure Farah or Dash, the markhor brothers, lear

Not sure Farah or Dash, the markhor brothers, learned they’re supposed to “chew like they have a secret.” It’s okay, neither did Viola in the movie “She’s the Man,” much to her mother’s disappointment 😆

But we had to share since we missed yesterday’s #MunchingMondays and it was perfect for today’s #TongueOutTuesday.

This snack consisted of all of their favorites together! Peanut butter, honey, and popcorn.

✨A cool fact about markhor is they will go to great lengths, errr heights, to eat. Not only can they stand on their hind legs to reach for their food, but markhors have been known to climb trees in order to reach the best food. It may be a bit bizarre to see a goat scamper up a tree or stretch on two legs, but it’s a strategy that clearly works for this species.

So next time you’re eating a meal or snack you really enjoy, forget chewing like you have a secret, and take a page out of Farah and Dash’s book and enjoy your food!

Thank you Keeper Cheyenne for this incredible footage 🤍

Anyone have a sleepy Sunday, like Mia, the orangut

Anyone have a sleepy Sunday, like Mia, the orangutan? No one chills in the hammock quite like him!

💞 Today is World Wildlife Conservation Day. And we have an easy way for you to participate in wildlife conservation: making sure the products you use and purchase this holiday season are orangutan-friendly!

🌟INFO:
Palm oil is an inexpensive and efficient vegetable oil found in many products, from food to cleaning supplies and cosmetics. In fact, it’s the world’s most widely used vegetable oil, and you likely use it at least once a day.

The good news? When grown sustainably, palm oil is our best option for an edible vegetable oil, requiring less land, pesticides and fertilizers than other oil alternatives.

But unsustainable palm oil fuels destruction of the rainforest where Sumatran, Bornean and Tapanuli orangutans live. If something isn’t done soon to stop the spread of non-sustainable palm oil plantations, orangutans and many other endangered species (like tigers and rhinos) will be in peril.

🌟WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Companies are making a difference by growing sustainable palm oil! Scan the products and brands you use and love, and make orangutan-friendly choices using this simple app by our friends at @cheyennemountainzoo, @chesterzoo, and @aucklandzoo.

Download the app and find more info in the first link in bio. Swipe for a quick #holiday cheat sheet!

🌟And help us spread the word! Every small action makes a difference this holiday season.

Thank you Keeper Courtney for this adorable picture of Mia!

“For a snow leopard, she’s not that snowy!”

“For a snow leopard, she’s not that snowy!” 🦈😆 Name that movie.

We love walking in on animals interacting with each other. This was just an early morning Asian Highland moment today. Nik, the Amur tiger, chatting with Babs, the snow leopard.

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “the big cats are always sleeping when I come!” Chances are, you’re probably right! In fact, many of the animals in the Asian Highlands areas sleep 18 hours a day, and mostly during the day.

Your best bet for seeing animals not sleeping? Come first thing in the morning, or before we close. And bonus points if it’s during the winter.

Join us this holiday season starting tonight and running through December 30, 2022 to bring some magic into your life.

We have some new surprises for you — everything from including *all* your senses in the experience (think smells, and unique music), to opportunities to learn about cultures our animals come from, and what we are calling the 12 Gifts of Conservation.

Grab your ticket, grab your family and friends, and head on over to the zoo for a light experience you won’t forget! Link in bio.

Note: this is a light-themed event held at night, and most animals will not be viewable. However, most of our resident animals are represented in stunning light structures.

Have you heard of @spotify wrapped? Well, we made

Have you heard of @spotify wrapped? Well, we made our very own 2022 Wrapped: Utah’s Hogle Zoo edition.

You’ll want to see our stats, and especially our top song. You’ve probably heard it once or twice if you’ve been to the zoo this year 🥰

Your involvement and support is so valuable to us at the zoo. Make a tax-deductible donation or purchase an item on our wishlist on our Giving Tuesday campaign. Link in bio!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed images and videos this year, some of which are seen here.

Had a long day? Sit down, unclench your jaw, turn

Had a long day? Sit down, unclench your jaw, turn on the sound, and take a full minute to enjoy our peaceful, snowy morning.

#Utah has some magical snowy moments. Add incredible animals, who thrive in snow, and we can call it a perfect morning.

Did you know we are open all but 2 days the whole year? In fact, each season and even each day brings a new way to view the animals under our care. If you usually see sleepy tigers, for example, come in the morning (bonus points for a snow day), and you’ll see a whole new side to our Amur tigers.

🥰 How many animals could you name, either by species or by their individual names? And did any of our snow-adapted animals surprise you? Zoo guests are often surprised zebras and tigers do well in the snow.

Send this video to a friend who also needs this full peaceful moment in their life.
