There are a few new pinniped pals making waves at DZCA! We`re excited to welcome three special guests from @hoglezoo for a temporary stay while their habitat undergoes updates.
Male sea lion Maverick and two sister seals Mira and Nika joined us last week and are settling in to their temporary new home swimmingly. Fourteen-year-old Maverick can be a little shy at first, but when he warms up, he can be very curious. Mira and Nika are 22-year-old sisters. Mira is the braver of the two seals and she often is the first to investigate new enrichment and surroundings, while Nika is more reserved and takes a lot of cues from her sister.
If Maverick`s name sounds familiar, that`s because it is! During construction of our sea lion habitat, DZCA`s Maverick spent about two years at Hogle Zoo, living alongside their Maverick. The two became fast friends in Utah and are already happily reacquainted here in Denver!
These three are expected to stay with us for a few weeks, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to return the care and collaboration Hogle Zoo offered over the last few years. Be sure to keep an eye out during your next visit—you might spot a familiar face and meet a few new ones along the way! 🦭
Did you know Toyota Elephant Passage is one of the largest and most complex elephant habitats in North America? 🐘
Spanning 10 acres with more than two miles of interconnected trails, TEP was designed specifically to care for and study bull elephants. It features pools for swimming, mud wallows, scratching trees, and a 20-ton elephant bridge. It’s also home to a greater one-horned rhino, gibbons, otters, cats, reptiles and more.
We think it’s one of the best zoo exhibits in the country.
