Animals Move to Islands for Season – You know spring is in full swing when the residents of the zoo's Flamingo and Monkey Islands move back outside. Visit the zoo today and you'll see American and Chilean flamingoes choosing their favorite spots for the season and hooded capuchins sharing their space with a couple American pelicans and a red-crowned crane, named Theodore Rex. The crane, called T-Rex for short, was born at the zoo last June and is brand new to the island this year. See video of the animals exploring their islands here.
Do at the Zoo Helps Feed Animals – Did you know that longtime resident Asian elephants Mimi and Dolly eat nearly 150 pounds of food every day?! With the arrival of male Asian elephants Groucho and Bodhi and other animals in Toyota Elephant Passage we've got a lot of big, new mouths to feed and we need your support more than ever. Proceeds from this year's Do at the Zoo, presented by Haselden Construction, will assist our efforts to provide the best care to all our animals. Purchase your ticket for this year's June 21 event and help feed the amazing animals that give us so much. This event sells out quickly, so buy your tickets today.

Denver Zoo Manages Human-Wildlife Conflicts – Denver Zoo has joined three other American Zoos in addressing escalating conflicts between humans and wildlife. The zoos support the training of African wildlife conservation professionals trying to prevent the killing of animals such as Grevy’s zebras, elephants and lions. The program is designed and led by the Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration (HWCC) to provide tools to determine root causes of conflict, build a foundation for trust and respect among villagers, and discover sustainable solutions.
