Otterly adorable! Have you seen Asian small-clawed otter pups Ripple, Splash, Scuttle & Puddles at Elephant Trek yet? 😍 DYK: Asian small-clawed otter pups can swim, but they are not born knowing how. They learn to swim from their parents! #babyanimals #cincinnatizoo #animals #otters

Juno checking in! 🦥 The sloth spends most of its time hanging upside down by its four-inch long, curved claws. It sleeps, eats, mates, and even gives birth in this position.

Happy World Lizard Day! Paste, Luigi and the legless lizards had a special photo shoot🤩 to celebrate! 🦎 Paste is a Gila monster, one of the few species of venomous lizards on the planet! 🦎 Luigi is an armadillo lizard - who might look more like a Pokémon character than a lizard! When danger is near, they turn into a ball by rolling on its back and taking its tail in its mouth. 🦎 The three baby Sheltopusiks (legless lizards) are currently behind the scenes in the Reptile House! 🦎 Broadly distributed but rarely seen, they're most active at night when they hunt for insects and rodents. #worldlizardday #lizard #cincinnatizoo #animals

🐺 Happy International Wolf Day! 🐺 From left to right, meet the wolves of Wolf Woods at the Cincinnati Zoo! 👑 Elena – The only female of the pack who taught the boys how to “wolf.” Calm, confident, and a master at digging shady chill spots. 🌟 Shadow – The active “alpha” who loves bison ribs, rolling in otter bedding, and showing off his very white eyebrows. 🔥 Waya – Smart, wild and small but mighty with a wide face and a love for sunshine naps, egg hunts, and the occasional sneaky bone heist. 😂 Bruce – The big, goofy red-coated brother with a droopy lip and a laid-back attitude All four came from the Endangered Wolf Center in St. Louis and help us share the importance of wolf conservation. SAFE Mexican Wolf, led by Cincinnati Zoo’s Kim Scott, is a bi-national recovery program that will help support and find new opportunities to work with the community in the recovery areas of both Mexico and the United States. The goal? To work hand-in-hand with local communities and other stakeholders in Mexico and the U.S. to give Mexican wolves a better chance at survival. Come see them in Wolf Woods and celebrate the incredible world of wolves today and every day! #InternationalWolfDay #CincinnatiZoo #WolfConservation #WolvesOfInstagram

Happy World Elephant Day! 🐘 The Cincinnati Zoo is committed to helping to save the world’s largest land mammals and their habitats by partnering with Conservation Initiatives in India & Bring the Elephant Home in Thailand. DYK: There are <50k Asian elephants in the wild. Populations are declining due to habitat loss & fragmentation, human–elephant conflict & poaching. The Zoo is also playing a leadership role in developing and implementing the AZA SAFE Asian Elephant program. This project is a conservation initiative between associated AZA facilities and partner organizations to ensure the Asian elephant’s survival as a species. Funds raised from Cincinnati Zoo’s behind-the-scenes elephant tours supports these conservation initiatives. #cincinnatizoo #animals #zookeeper #cuteanimals #elephants #azasafechallenge #worldelephantday @btehasiaafrica @conservation.initiatives

From the care team: Kris has progressed in her recovery to the next step of her physical therapy. We have added more exercises as her back legs are getting stronger. She is doing walks still on leash, but we have added an incline with zig-zags and decline with stops to help building up that strength. One of the biggest improvements in her PT is how she can jump on a low platform! This is a huge step for her, and right now she can only do it once or twice, but she is getting better at it each day. We have also started trying some acupuncture therapy to see if that helps with her healing progress. Kris has taken all of her recovery so well, and purrs the entire time, we are so proud of her! 😻 💪 #cheetah #animalcare #cincinnatizoo #animals #cats

Goat eyes are placed on each side of the head and pupils are horizontally elongated. As goats tilt their heads, the pupils rotate to remain horizontal. This configuration allows them to see clearly and sharply almost all around them—ahead and to the side—for 320–340 degrees. There is just a narrow blind spot behind the head. Stop by the goat petting yard by @carefirsturgentcares on your next visit. It's goatly awesome!

Rico “hangin out” and then scooching back up onto his climbing leaf. Spending most of its time in the canopy, the Brazilian porcupine is an expert climber. Large curved claws, bare soles and a prehensile tail help the large rodent grip branches as it moves through the trees. The muscular tail is nearly as long as the body and essentially acts as a fifth limb. #porcupine #rico #animals #cincinnatizoo #cuteanimals

Partial-webbing on the Asian small-clawed otters’ paws allows for greater dexterity which these otters use to catch and handle their food! Scuttle demonstrates. #animals #cincinnatizoo #otter #babyanimals
