Just in time for spooky season, we have some exciting news: Asian forest scorpion Kylo Ren is now a mom!
Kylo Ren joined Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance in April as part of our Animal Ambassador program, and she’s already been shining in regular programming. Recently, she surprised her dedicated care team with a batch of babies, known as scorplings! Unlike many invertebrates, forest scorpions don’t lay eggs. Instead, they give birth to live young, who ride on their mother’s back until their first molt. After that, they naturally set off on their own.
While we weren’t expecting scorplings, this was a welcome surprise! Some of these little ones will stay on as future Ambassadors here at DZCA, while others will go to partner institutions. In the meantime, Animal Care Specialists are keeping a close eye on the family and giving Kylo Ren all the extra snacks she wants.
Though Kylo Ren and her babies will remain behind the scenes, you can still celebrate ask things creepy-crawly with us this fall at DZCA.

Time for an adorable cubdate: After bonding with mom behind the scenes for the last seven weeks, our African lion cubs got to explore outside for the very first time last week. They’ve loved climbing, chasing, and discovering this new space! 🦁
The best news? Our cubs are almost ready for guests! Their public debut is October 9, and starting then, they’ll be outside daily from 9:30–11:30 a.m. in the Maternity Yard! As they get more comfortable in their space, their outdoor time may extend, but their dedicated care team will ensure they get plenty of rest behind the scenes as well.
Don’t miss this special debut! Plan your visit now: https://denverzoo.org/
