Animal Viewing Impacts

Red Pandas: Our red panda mom and cubs will be off-habitat until approximately 11 a.m. on Monday, November 2, and Tuesday, November 3, to accommodate tree pruning in the area. Thank you for your understanding.

Tortoises: Our leopard tortoise and pancake tortoise are temporarily off-view while their habitat in the African Rainforest Building undergoes modifications. Thank you for your understanding.

Avian Influenza Protocols

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed the presence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) within 200 kilometres of the Wilder Institute’s Calgary Zoo.

The health and well-being of the animals in our care remains our top priority. Out of an abundance of caution, we’re proactively implementing the following measures to protect our avian species:

Footbaths have been installed at the entrances to The Larry Ruskin Penguin Plunge, the Jihad Shibley Rocky Mountain Aviary, and the African Rainforest Aviary for all staff, volunteers, guests, and contractors entering these spaces.
Birds will continue to have outdoor access where appropriate and weather permitting.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to keep the animals we love safe.

Get ready to meet the new horns on the block – our Turkmenian markhor sisters ‘Cy’ and ‘Phoenix’ are here!

Markhor are known for their big horns, but just how big are they? A male’s horns can grow to be five feet in length, while a female’s can reach two feet!

You can identify Cy by her blue ear tag and Phoenix by her lack of ear tags. Stop by Exploration Asia to welcome them!

Welcome, ‘Cy’ and ‘Phoenix’
