Zoo Debut: Dalmatian Pelicans Return for the Season

May 02, 2025 | 1 minute read

Spring is here, and we’re ready to feel the sunshine on our feathers! Now that temperatures have remained consistently warm, our Dalmatian pelicans are once again able to be outside!

Due to construction in Exploration Asia, our pod of pelicans can’t reside in their regular habitat, so our dedicated Animal Care, Health & Welfare team got creative. Their new temporary home is in Land of Lemurs and we peli-can’t believe how quickly they settled in yesterday!

Stop by today to welcome them to their new digs!
