Our resident raccoon sisters, Pecan and Cashew, celebrated their 5th birthday today! 🦝
To mark the occasion, their Animal Care team decorated their yard with special enrichment, including an ice cake filled with pineapple juice, cherries, coconut, and crickets, as well as “monster boxes” packed with veggies and biscuits.
Stop by Harmony Hill to learn more about these incredible raccoons and their rescue story. You just might fall in love with them too! 🐾

🦘✨ We’re excited to welcome Rutabaga and Rhubarb, two young female red kangaroos who recently arrived at DZCA from Nashville Zoo!
These two are settling in nicely, and over the coming weeks, they’ll be introduced to the rest of the crew, including our wallaby mob and elder red kangaroo, Madea.
