Our five meerkats are extremely inquisitive and love some good entertainment. Meerkat keeper Stephanie P. shot this video of Hulxey, Orbee, Poppet, Widget and Twig chasing and popping non-toxic bubbles. We especially love the sounds they make as they follow the bubbles!Dallas Zoo meerkats love bubbles - YouTube | |

Vice President of Guest Experiences, Sean Greene, takes a smelly hit for the Zoo’s love of the Dallas Stars. We initiated a friendly bet with the St. Louis Zoo on the outcome of the Stanley Cup playoff series between the Stars and the St. Louis Blues. The wager: A vice president from the losing team’s zoo had to shovel 250 pounds of elephant poop, wearing the winning team’s gear. We stuck to our word, St. Louis Zoo. Our stinky bet is settled!VP Shovels Elephant Poop to Settle Bet With St. Louis Zoo - YouTube | |

Meet Somali wild asses Hani and Qamar, two remarkable new residents at the Dallas Zoo. These beautiful animals with striped legs are both just over a year old. This species lives in isolated pockets in arid areas of Somalia and Ethiopia. But they're critically endangered, with just about 600 left in the wild due to hunting for food and traditional medicine, interbreeding with domestic donkeys, and competition with domestic livestock for grazing areas. Only eight zoos U.S. house them. You'll see them from the Monorail Safari in the Wilds of Africa semi-arid habitat, alongside ostrich, gemsbok and addras. (And here's a fun thing: you can even choose them in someone's honor in our Adopt-An-Animal program!)Dallas Zoo's new Somali Wild Asses - YouTube | |

"Almasi" is the 36th calf born through the Dallas Zoo's renowned breeding program that's ensuring the survival of these beautiful, elusive animals from the Congo. Almasi (which means "diamond" in Swahili) was born Aug. 14, 2013, after a 14-month gestation. She weighed 47 pounds at birth, and is already up to 190 pounds. Okapi (pronounced oh-KOP-ee) are a unique and mysterious animal, so elusive that they have been called the "African unicorn." Their black-and-white striped legs and horselike bodies resemble a zebra, but the okapi is most closely related to giraffes. Like giraffes, their heads have large ears that give them keen hearing and their long prehensile tongues let them strip leaves and shoots from trees.Dallas Zoo's Rare Okapi Baby Learns to Use Her Legs - YouTube | |

Dallas Zoo’s Wild Earth Action Team returned to Big Thicket National Preserve to plant longleaf pines with the National Park Service. Our team of 15 students and five adults helped reforest 300 acres of habitat for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. These students are Dallas Zoo youth volunteers from cities across our region and they are passionate and committed to helping animals in every way they can. The Big Thicket National Preserve set a goal of planting 100,000 trees in honor of the National Park Service’s 100th birthday. We’re proud to say we helped them exceed their goal with our 11,000 contribution in 2016, and the additional 10,000 trees planted this month. Dallas Zoo is proud to partner with the conservation heroes of the National Park Service. One of the most important reasons we’re helping plant these trees is to restore habitat for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. We have already lost America’s two largest woodpecker species, the ivory-billed woodpecker and the imperial woodpecker, to extinction due to rampant and unregulated logging. By the 1950s, they were gone.Dallas Zoo Works Hard to Restore Habitat for Endangered Birds - YouTube | |

Watch Zola gorilla demonstrate play behaviors as he splashes and dances during a swimming pool enrichment session off habitat, behind-the-scenes. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/SubscribeDallasZooTube Catch a sneak peak of Zola showing off his dance moves in a behind-the-scenes video shot by zookeeper Ashley Orr. You may remember Zola when he was a youngster from the viral video of him breakdancing at The Calgary Zoo, but there’s a lot more to this behavior than you may think. Enrichment helps enhance the environment and lives of animals, like Zola, by providing them with mental and physical stimulation to increase natural behaviors. Enrichment can take many forms, but for this spunky great ape, it means playing and spinning in his favorite blue pool while off habitat!
