Zootacular, presented by Veridian Credit Union, and Bat Appreciation Month are upon us 🦇​

These little fliers eat approximately 50% to 150% of their body weight in fruit every single day. That makes for pounds and pounds of fresh fruit sourced, weighed, chopped, transported, and delivered into Mahoney
Kingdoms of the Night's wet cave daily. ​

This is just a 7 second glimpse into their day. See our Egyptian fruit bats flying for yourself at Zootacular – get your tickets today: https://tinyurl.com/mwt83urt

🐧 A few hardworking teammates, more than 20 Gentoo penguins, hours of prep work and more rocks than we can count – that's how you know penguin breeding season is upon us!​

The rookeries are BACK in the Scott Aquarium! Rookeries provide a dry space for penguins to build their nests during this season. ​

This fall, spend some time watching our birds gather rocks and build their nests right here in the Scott Aquarium. ​
