Our animals loved you right back!! Thanks so much for coming to see us!
Did you know that a camel can drink 30 gallons of water in 10 minutes?? Don't try that at home!! Camels don't actually store all that water in their humps – it goes into their blood vessels, which expand like crazy to make room for it! That's why camels can go so long without drinking water!

#MeetTheTeam #NationalZookeeperWeek Meet Bart, Assistant Curator "I have a few good animal friends at the park, but my favorite would have to be Rosie the Crested porcupine. Rosie is quite playful and loves to do obstacle courses. She absolutely loves carrots and sweet potatoes. Rosie is quite a happy girl and loves people. Her favorite time is when she goes out on her leash." - Bart
