Happy National Wildlife Day.
From the animals in our own backyards to incredible species around the globe, wildlife plays an important role in keeping our planet healthy. At the Cincinnati Zoo, caring for wildlife goes far beyond our gates. Through conservation partnerships around the world, we’re working to protect endangered species, restore habitats, support local communities, and create a future where people and wildlife can thrive together.
Today is a great reminder that we can all make a difference for wildlife. Plant native plants, avoid pesticides, reduce single-use plastics, make sustainable choices, and support conservation efforts that protect the wild places animals call home.

It's Photo Caption Friday! Come up with a clever caption for this photo and we will choose our favorite. The winner will receive gift cards from Chickfilacincynky. Good luck! (Please note, scammers have been commenting on people's submissions saying they are the winner. The real winner will only be contacted from the Zoo's FB page directly and we will never have a link that you need to click on)

Happy 14th Birthday to Lightning the sloth.
Lightning is an amazing ambassador for sloths in the wild. The Cincinnati Zoo is proud to support The Sloth Institute Costa Rica, an organization dedicated to the research, education, rescue, rehabilitation, and release of sloths. Their work helps us better understand these incredible animals and gives rescued sloths a second chance to thrive in their natural habitat.
