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
Did you hear the rocking good news? Our two adult female rock hyraxes are pregnant!
Both ‘Kikami’ and ‘Oshana’ are expecting pups, sired by male ‘Kenickie’. While we’re cautiously optimistic about some spud-tacular pregnancies, this means we’ve wished farewell to our #ThreePotatoesYYC. Our three rock hyrax siblings ‘Chad’, ‘Emi’, and ‘Koussi’ have departed in preparation for moves to a new home that is excited to welcome this fascinating species.
While goodbyes are never easy, we’ll cherish our memories of seeing these tots showing off their #potatoparkour.
