Denver Zoo: Give 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.

African Banded Mongoose

The zoo uses a myriad of natural enrichment items; you may even see some of these items in our exhibits. Keepers provide natural items like gourds, hollowed coconuts and essential oils. These items encourage activity and stimulate the animals mentally.
