@DenverZoo in the Wild
Water connects us all and last year, it also brought our team to the front lines of a wildlife crisis.
When a harmful algal bloom off the coast of California released a powerful neurotoxin called domoic acid, hundreds of sea lions were affected, causing seizures, confusion, and, in many cases, death. In response, DZCA staff stepped in to help.
Our Veterinary and Animal Care teams traveled to support the Marine Mammal Care Center, working alongside partners to treat, rehabilitate, and ultimately release sea lions back into the ocean.
For many, like our Registered Veterinary Technician Danielle, it was a full-circle moment, helping care for these animals and then watching them return home.
This is what conservation looks like: collaboration, compassion, and action when wildlife needs it most.
By protecting our water, we protect the animals who depend on it.

🌿 Healthy forests mean healthy wildlife. 🌏
We’re proud to partner with Leuser Conservation Forum (FKL) in Indonesia, working to protect one of the most biodiverse rainforests on Earth. The Leuser ecosystem is one of the only places where Sumatran rhinos, tigers, orangutans, and Asian elephants still coexist in the wild.
From supporting ranger patrols to conducting research on the ground, FKL is on the front lines of protecting wildlife and safeguarding the future of this vital ecosystem.
Together, we’re helping ensure these forests and the species that depend on them can thrive for generations to come. 🌱

🐍 Venomous snakes help keep rodent populations in check and even contribute to life-saving medical research through proteins found in venom. Yet many face threats from habitat loss and fear-driven persecution.
At DZCA, you can safely see a variety of snakes from tropical, desert, and even Colorado habitats and learn why these misunderstood reptiles matter.
Next time you see a snake in the wild, give it space...they’re doing important work out there.
