Adventure awaits in North America Trek! 🦅🐺🐻 Birds take a little more time to acclimate to new environments, so the songbird aviary won’t be open quite yet when we debut the new North America Trek region on June 20. Here are other animals you’ll get to see in new habitats: Black bears Mexican wolves Bald eagles River otters Our Tip: Stroll slowly, read the signs, chat with our teams and volunteers, and marvel at the inspiration taken from our own national parks for each habitat.

She has bonded with mother, Sully, and can often be seen napping, nursing, or exploring her new surroundings from the comfort of Sully’s arms. So now, gratitude is in order. First, thank YOU for your overwhelming messages of support for the new baby, for Sully, and for their care team…and an extra thank you to guests who have trekked to our Congo Expedition region to celebrate the arrival of this li

Our baby colobus monkey has a name! Everyone meet … McClane! 💚 McClane was named by our Animal Care team in the Congo Expedition region. His name is an ode to John McClane Sr., the main character in the fictional movie series, Die Hard. With his birth falling so close to the holiday season, the Congo Expedition team thought it’d be fitting to name McClane after this “holiday classic” (we’ll leave that debate in the comments). Baby McClane is on the move, already practicing his climbing abilitie

From the openings of North America Trek, Conservation Tower, and the Hellbender RV Campground, to the incredible work we’ve continued abroad in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Asia, 2025 has proven to be a monumental year across all parks.

Meet Stoyan, our Horticulture Manager here at the Columbus Zoo, who is a vital part of making this happen. Through working with Preservation Parks of Delaware County at Emily Traphagen Park, Stoyan helps bring natural plant species, such as the black willow, to the park, which will also benefit our animals here at the Columbus Zoo in the future.

2-month-old baby mandrill Izara is growing up! Izara is doing a great job at trying solid foods and practicing filling her little cheek pouches, which is an excellent behavior to see in mandrills her age. (This will serve Izara well as she continues to grow and forage with her troop.) Izara is still spending a lot of time with her mom, Hasina, but has been recently allowed to explore away from mom more. https://www.columbuszoo.org/congo-expedition | Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

All hands on deck! It’s an early 6 a.m. start to the day as feeding and cleaning are a large aspect of our day, and we have to make sure all of our habitats are well cared for to keep the animals comfortable and healthy. We clean, inspect, and (while we may not smell pretty at the end of the day) tirelessly wade through things like hay and poop. Even so, it’s still a rewarding job when the animals enjoy the areas, activities, and culinary goodies we’ve worked hard to prepare for them! It takes h

When you're a little baby gorilla, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is a big place. 10-month-old gorilla, Jamani, has a hard time sitting still when there's so much to see and explore in her habitat. Throughout her day, Jamani can be seen interacting with enrichment, climbing and playing in hay with mom, Cassie, and dad, Ktembe, keeping a close eye on her. Congo Expedition is open year-round, so head over to see Jamani and her troop during your next visit to the Columbus Zoo! https://bit.ly/3qkxL0g

Winter looks different for all of our animals here at the Zoo! For some, it means diving into the snow, while for others, it looks like exploring new indoor spaces to keep their routine. For Orion, a 22-year-old Eurasian eagle owl and a member of the Wild Encounters Animal Outreach team, she prefers the latter. Throughout most of the year, Orion spends her days soaring across school gymnasiums during Wild Wonder school assemblies. These flights allow her to stay physically active while helping s

Each year, the Heart of Africa team starts with gradual introductions of animals from their large winter barns to the savanna. The team begins with fencing off a small portion of the savanna for the smaller gazelle species (Thomson’s gazelles, slender-horned gazelles and dama gazelles). Gradually working up to the larger savanna allows them to make sure the gazelles don’t overexert themselves. Once
