Help out a sea lion and buy sustainable seafood!
With changes in ocean temperatures food sources are moving further off shore making it more difficult for sea lions to find a meal. Download the @seafoodwatch app to do your part today!

The 2,000th leaf-tailed gecko has hatched @riverbankszoo
Leaf-tailed geckos are native only to Madagascar, and are most well known for their uncanny camouflage skills (the main reason for the white backdrop). In fact some of these gecko species have fringed flaps on their sides and lower jaws that can flatten against a surface, to obscure their outline. Talk about an amazing adaptation!

Oh, Monday....but that means we're just a week away from the total solar eclipse! If you are planning a visit this weekend, for the best guest experience, please arrive early as parking will likely reach capacity before 11am. The park opens at 9am.

Meerkats are known for their daring diet of venomous snakes and scorpions! Thankfully they have a built in immunity so the venom is less effective to their bodies.
