It’s a… boy! 🥹🩵

Our addax calf, who was born back on July 4, continues to grow and acclimate with our herd every day. Those little horns just keep getting bigger and bigger!

Now, after a recent check-up with the calf, we officially know he is a male!

Next up: Giving him a name! 👀 Stay tuned to our social medias in the coming weeks for details on how you can help.

Red panda cubs update: Still happy and healthy, still growing, still adorable ☺️

Our pair of red panda cubs, who were born back on June 10, 2026, have officially hit the 2-month-old mark and are continuing to grow and bond with their mom, Himalaya, in their behind-the-scenes nest box!

Our animal care team has been very happy with the progress of the cubs, as well as Himalaya’s motherly instincts! One of the next key milestones for the cubs is improving their coordination and climbing abilities, which are crucial survival skills for red pandas.

While there is still no set timeline as to when the cubs will be visible to the public, stay tuned to our socials medias for all the latest updates! 😁

We’re thrilled to introduce two new faces that now reside in our Ecostation! 😁

First, meet Maverick, the Buffalo Zoo’s new male Linne’s two-toed sloth! 🦥

Maverick is 3 years old and was born on March 3, 2023 at Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. He is now visible regularly in Ecostation’s Rainforest habitat, alongside our saki monkeys and agoutis!

We’d also like you to meet Josiah, a 1-year-old male tammar wallaby born on Nov. 11, 2024! He comes to Buffalo from the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas.

Josiah is now sharing the Australian Scrub Forest habitat in Ecostation with our two resident female wallabies, Jannali and Circe.

Both animals arrived on Species Survival Plan recommendations from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, with Josiah being paired up with Jannali and Circe on a breeding recommendation. These moves are critical to allow for the survival of these incredible species, and they align with the Buffalo Zoo’s conservation mission of ensuring a future where wildlife thrives.

Be sure to keep an eye out for these recent additions, and welcome them to Buffalo during your next visit!
