"Toucan" Play this GameWhat's more exciting than the Zoo's first toco toucan hatching in more than 30 years? The Zoo's first two hatchings in more than 30 years! It was twice the celebration when a pair of toucan chicks fledged last week in the Zoo's Parker Aviary. Guests can see the feathered cuties as they flutter about with mom and explore their habitat. Watch the birdies!
Baby Boom at the ParkWhat's "gnu" to see at the Park? A bevy of new babies—from white-lipped gnu and eastern giant eland calves to Thomson's gazelle fawns and other youngsters—are kicking up their heels in the field exhibits. The pitter-patter of little feet also includes South African springbok and ellipsen waterbuck youngsters. Want to watch the kids? Take the Africa Tram and see how many little ones you can spot!
