Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
Bite-Sized
Have you ever wondered why our resident woodland caribou have antlers? Caribou are the only deer species where both males and females grow antlers!
For males, antlers are a great way to show off to females and fight off rival males, while females use their antlers to defend their young. Males will typically shed their antlers in late fall, whereas females keep theirs until calves are born in late May or early June so they can defend their food source.
