🦓Did you know zebras’ stripes may do more than just make them unique? When they run in groups, the moving stripe patterns can blend together in a way that confuses predators trying to single one out.🦓

Yes, his name really is Wednesday… so there’s no better midweek mascot. Two humps, big personality, and the perfect reminder that we’re officially over the hump and sliding toward the weekend. 🎉

Come check us out this weekend from 10-4 (last entry is at 2:30)!

Remember the three baby ostriches we posted a few weeks ago?? Well, they’ve officially upgraded to mini dinosaurs! 🦖😍 In just a short time, they’ve grown tremendously — and they’re still getting bigger every day. (We included a baby pic in case you missed it!)

This trio is like the Three Amigos, so we named them Uno, Dos, and Tres based on the order they hatched.

And yes… we’re completely obsessed with their eyelashes. Jealous, even. 😉

Our young bison is still learning his table manners! Right now, that means lots of slurping and dunking his little beard in the water. As he grows, that ‘beard’ will become one of the signature features of a full-grown bison. For now, we’ll let him practice… even if it’s a little messy. 🦬😍
