Meet Our Newest Animal Ambassadors: Cockroaches!

If you’ve visited our Zoo in the last year, you’ve probably shared a similar experience with our other guests: Debating whether the Madagascar hissing cockroaches in our Expedition Africa area’s baobab tree are real or not. Now, the debate may be over! We’ve welcomed 10 male Madagascar hissing cockroaches to our Zoo.

A New Home for Our Ambassador Animals

The habitat near our king vultures has been transformed into a new experimental space for five animal residents: the skunk trio, Shelly the prehensile-tailed porcupine, and Lorenzo the two-toed sloth. This is part of our new effort to provide our Ambassadors with even more comfortable, natural habitats while also creating more opportunities for you to get to know our Ambassador Animals.
