A fabulous flock knows how to celebrate the Fourth 🫧🦩🇺🇸
Happy Fourth of July! We're open all weekend, so come celebrate the holiday with us at the Zoo.
Target acquired. 🎯Meet our newest crested coua chick! Native only to Madagascar, these unique birds are known for the colorful "bullseye" pattern inside their chicks' mouths. This unique adaptation is thought to make it easier for mom and dad to find the chick's mouth during feedings in their dark, hidden nest.
This little one is being cared for behind the scenes by our dedicated bird team, so it won't be visible to Zoo guests. While you can't see every new arrival in person, we're excited to give you a peek at one of the many amazing moments happening behind the scenes every day. 💚

Serving some serious side-eye this Texas Tortoise Day. 👀🐢 Meet Willie, our Texas tortoise and a master of the judgmental glance.
Texas tortoises are Texas’ only native tortoise species and are found in limited regions of South Texas, where they play an important role in the ecosystem. They are highly adapted to their environment and have strong homing instincts, often remaining closely connected to the same home ranges over time. They grow slowly, live long lives, and produce only a small number of offspring, which makes every adult critical to the population. If you’re lucky enough to spot one in the wild, take a photo, appreciate this Texas original.
