Meet the Animals: Klipspringers

Our three klipspringers are full of personality, but their small size can often mean they get overlooked by the average Zoo- goer. That’s why we’re featuring them this month as part of our “Meet the Animal” series.

Meet the Animals: Masked Lapwings

Meet our four masked lapwings! It may be a bit tricky to catch a glimpse of these ground-dwelling birds, but these birds will let you know they’re nearby with their high-pitched vocalizations, especially during breeding season.  

Meet the Animals: West African Black Crowned Cranes

Goose and Royal the West African black crowned cranes have been a Zoo couple for about two years, and they have quickly become a favorite among keepers. Learn all about this pair’s day-to-day life.

Meet the Animal: Capone the Alligator Snapping Turtle

We have many very spe-shell reptile residents who call our Zoo home, but few have been around as long as Capone. Capone, who has been a member of the Zoo for about 15 years, is our 57-year-old alligator snapping turtle whose habitat is tucked to the side near our alligators and crested caracara in the Wild Florida loop.
