July is Wild About Wildlife Month, and at the Cincinnati Zoo’s Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW), the Imperiled Cat Signature Project is wild about collaborating with zoos across the United States to save wild cat species!

Juniper and Hazel are beary excited for Zoo Night at the Reds on July 7! Visit us in the Fan Zone before the game to meet special animals and watch from the stands as animals from the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden parade around the field!

More Zoo Babies! The Aruba Island rattlesnake is expecting! This species doesn't lay eggs like most snakes. Instead, they give birth through a process called ovoviviparity, where eggs develop & hatch inside the mother’s body. The babies are born live, fully formed, and ready to survive on their own

Tessa is expecting! 🦒 Tessa is due in October, and we’re over the moon about this growing addition to the herd and can’t wait to share this journey with you. Stay tuned for updates as Tessa continues her pregnancy — there’s nothing quite like welcoming a new calf to the Zoo family!

The 3-day-old baby gorilla went outside today for the first time. Gladys may be a first-time mom, but she’s already a natural. Visitors can stop by Gorilla World on their next visit in hopes to get a glimpse of the new baby, but they will not be on a set schedule of when they will be out.

Twelve-year-old gorilla Gladys is a mom! A healthy baby boy was born on Saturday, September 20, at 8:32 a.m. Mom and baby are doing well. This is Gladys’ first baby and the 51st gorilla born at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden opened its doors 150 years ago today in 1875! From its beginnings as one of the nation’s first zoos to its role today as a leader in animal care, conservation & sustainability, we thank you for being an important part of our story

Happy 1st Birthday to Daisy the bonobo! Like chimpanzees, bonobos share 98.7% of our DNA. But unlike gorillas or chimpanzees, bonobos are a matriarchal society. They are female lead, and female bonds take priority over male bonds.
