There are SO many fun facts about the kookaburra (which gets its name from the sound it makes!) But did you know that in the movie Tarzan, many of the jungle noises were recordings of this feathered friend? In reality, kookaburras don't live in Africa, but they sure made for a cool soundtrack!

Dear Journal,
I LOVE hanging out with my family!! All my family and me get to spend so much time together, climbing trees, grooming, and poking our snouts under rocks to find food. It's great being part of such a social group!
08/18/2022
It may not come as a surprise when you meet them, but did you know that servals have the largest ears of ANY cat??

Dear Journal,
I don't get scared very often here at the Park, which is great because my friends do NOT like having to pick my quills out of their fur! Some days I try to count how many I have, but I just can't count that high! I overheard a zookeeper the other day saying I could have as many as 30,000 – no wonder I always lose count!!
08/02/2022
Thanks so much for coming to see us, Alicia! Jethro (and the rest of our animals) thank you for the great review!

#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
Sliding into the weekend like…..wahoooooooo!! What are your plans for the weekend? Hope they include hanging out with zebras, camels, goats, lemurs and servals- hint hint 😉!!

Seems quite expensive if you want to come and spend a few hours, instead of a whole day.
Is Friday considered a weekday or weekend?
