You and your bestie just trying to make it through the week...
In this photo, ring-tailed lemurs Michael and Dwight are displaying their species` iconic sunbathing behavior. Each morning, ring-tailed lemurs sit upright on their haunches, with legs and arms spread out and forearms resting on their knees, exposing the undersides of their limbs to the sun to thermoregulate. Since they`re highly social animals, touching or holding onto each other while they bask also helps reinforce and strengthen social bonds. ☀️🫶💛
Rex has been waiting all year for #IguanaAwarenessDay! 🦎
At DZCA, we`re proud to be home to several incredible iguana species, including Rex the rhinoceros iguana, our Endangered Fiji banded iguana, and our Mexican spiny-tailed iguanas.
These living legends face serious threats from habitat destruction, the pet trade, and invasive species. Responsible pet ownership makes a real difference. Be mindful about the animals we welcome into our homes and remember you can always come visit ours instead! 🦎

Today is #ThreatenedSpeciesDay, a reminder of the urgent need to protect wildlife around the globe. 🌍
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies species based on their risk of extinction, from "Least Concern" to "Extinct." Sadly, more than 47,000 species are currently threatened with extinction.
Here at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, we care for species across the entire spectrum:
Dillon, our nine-banded armadillo (Least Concern)
Betty, our gerenuk (Near Threatened)
Mahali, our hippopotamus (Vulnerable)
Our reticulated giraffe herd (Endangered)
The Lake Titicaca water frog (Critically Endangered)
Panamanian golden frog (Extinct in the wild)
Every visit to DZCA supports the care of these animals and fuels conservation efforts for their wild counterparts. Join us in learning more, connecting with wildlife, and helping ensure a future where wildlife can thrive. 🐾
