What’s on the menu? 🐾🍽️

Our maned wolf puts that curious nose to work inspecting a special popsicle enrichment before digging into the daily diet. As omnivores, maned wolves eat a variety of plant- and animal-based foods—and enrichment adds new scents, textures, and challenges that help keep mealtime interesting!

A striking look at one of Louisiana’s native snakes! 🐍

The cottonmouth—also called a water moccasin—is a venomous species often found near wetlands and waterways. While its reputation may make some people nervous, this snake plays an important role in the ecosystem by helping control populations of small animals.

Admire from a safe distance in the wild, and get a closer look during your next visit to Alexandria Zoo!
