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
We have a triplet birthday! Our sounder of Red River hogs, ‘Kwango’, ‘Sankuru’, and ‘Lokoro’ are turning six years old today!
Red River hogs are the most colourful members of the pig family, and their colouration can vary depending on where they are from. This species is typically red, but they can feature white stripes and white facial masks. Male hogs, like the brothers here, will usually have two well-developed warts. These warts even have a purpose – they help to protect from tusk damage when males scrabble with each other!
Stop by the African Savannah to wish our hog trio a happy, happy, happy birthday!
