Happy Sweet 16 to our queen, Hesty! 🍦🦧
While Jaya made sure no snack went to waste, from frozen fruit smoothies, mixed nuts, and even an ice cream truck full of orangutan-friendly treats, Hesty had something even better on her mind: soaking up the sunshine outside with her baby.
We couldn`t ask for a better birthday celebration for our new Sumatran orangutan mom. Seeing Hesty outside, calm and confident with her little one, is the greatest gift of all.
Here`s to 16 incredible years, Hesty. We love you! 🦧
Bring home a little piece of this magic with our Orangutan + Baby Adoption Bundle, the perfect way to show your love for this incredible duo and support their care at DZCA.

Crikey! It’s #WorldCrocDay! 🐊
At DZCA, you can meet some truly remarkable crocs and their reptile relatives:
🐊 Jino, our African dwarf crocodile in Predator Ridge, one of the smallest crocodilian species around.
🐊 Daphne, our Critically Endangered Siamese crocodile in Tropical Discovery, who at 66 years old is the oldest animal at the Zoo.
🦎 Plus two reptiles that carry the croc name: the crocodile monitor and the Chinese crocodile lizard, also in Tropical Discovery!
