Even with their notable size, American bison like our three girls are capable of running at speeds of up to 40 mph over short distances, and can leap as high as 5 to 6 feet!

Happy World Gorilla Day from our troop of Babatunde, Lily and Sidney! 🦍

Did you know that recycling old devices like cell phones can help protect gorillas? 📱

Cell phones and other electronics contain coltan, which is mined in gorillas' native habitats. These operations lead to poaching of gorillas, deforestation and habitat loss. By recycling devices that contain coltan, it reduces the demand for the mineral.

You can recycle your old electronics right here at the Buffalo Zoo, and do your part to help save these critically endangered animals!

It's World Rhino Day! 🦏

The Buffalo Zoo is home to three rhinos:

🦏 Georgia, 4, greater one-horned rhino
🦏 Tashi, 29, greater one-horned rhino
🦏 Romeo, 7, eastern black rhino

There are currently five remaining rhino species left on Earth, and three of those five, including black rhinos like Romeo, are considered critically endangered in the wild. Poaching and habitat loss have played a significant factor in causing severe population declines among rhinos, and it is integral we continue to do everything we can to ensure a future where these animals can thrive.

The Buffalo Zoo is proud to support conservation efforts seeking to save rhinos from extinction. You can learn more about these efforts and the Zoo's rhinos during our World Rhino Day celebration presented by Reimer Heating Plumbing & Air Conditioning, An Official Partner of the Buffalo Zoo, on Saturday, Sept. 26!
