International Women’s Day is March 8, and we’re highlighting incredible women at the Zoo all week long! First up, we’re featuring Katelyn Stache, Assistant Curator of Carnivores at DZCA. 🦁
Katelyn helps lead the daily care, wellbeing, and long-term management of our carnivores, including our lion pride, working closely with Animal Care, Veterinary, and Conservation teams to support each animal’s unique needs. From personalized care plans to training and enrichment, her work helps our lions thrive here at the Zoo and serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.
One of her favorite parts of the job is building trust with each of the individuals in the pride. 🐾 That trust reflects the strong relationships our teams build and the positive impacts of training and care.
Through our participation in the AZA Species Survival Plan and our Africa Conservation Program’s partnership, the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Project in Uganda, our lions also help support conservation efforts in the wild, where fewer than 20,000 lions remain.
This International Women’s Day, you can support lion conservation work and the incredible women who help make it possible! Visit the link in our bio to donate today.

Happy 9th birthday to Dobby! 🦒🎉
Dobby has been part of the DZCA family since he was a baby, and we’ve loved watching him grow into the curious, gentle giant he is today. From those big eyes, fuzzy ossicones, and his signature wrinkles, he’sone of a kind.
Want to celebrate with him? You can meet Dobby up close during a Giraffe Encounter and hand-feed the herd while learning from his Animal Care Team.
🦒 Reserve your spot through the link in bio.
