The lambs in our Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep herd have been named! Meet Indigo and Saffron! π
πΈ Indigo, born to mama Violet, is named for the deep blue-purple hueβa nod to the wildflowers native to Colorado`s breathtaking landscapes.
πΏ Saffron, born to mama Amber, carries on the warm color family theme; an orange-yellow hue within the broader amber palette, inspired by the natural tree product found right here in Colorado.
From wildflowers to earth tones, these names were thoughtfully chosen to reflect the natural colors and elements of the high-alpine habitats where bighorn sheep roam. ποΈ

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Cenzoo, the western lowland gorilla, at @riverbankszoosc. π€
Cenzoo holds a special place in DZCA history. He arrived during our 100th Anniversary in 1996 and was part of the first family group of gorillas to call Primate Panorama home. Though he moved on to make his mark at several other incredible institutions, his time here was unforgettable.
Our hearts go out to the entire Riverbanks Zoo and Garden team, who loved and cared for him so deeply. Rest well, Cenzoo. π¦
