Give back to the animals

We all have colorful memories of time spent at Denver Zoo. Each animal encounter enriches our lives. Animals teach us something. They connect us to nature. They bring a calming effect, and often squeals of delight.

Denver Zoo provides the best balanced nutrition, engaging animal enrichment and veterinary care for our animals. Denver Zoo's amazing animals give us so much and we're asking for your help. Learn more about the efforts we take to care for our animals and help us Give Back To The Animals.

Cuttlefish

Cuttlefish are not actually fish, but cephalopods, the same marine class that includes octopuses and squids. They have eight arms and two feeding tentacles to capture their prey, typically krill, shrimp and small silverfish. At Denver Zoo we provide our cuttlefish with fresh shrimp.
