New habitat alert! Our facilities team is busy putting the finishing touches on a brand-new habitat located right by the keeper barn.
This space was custom-built by Rob for our curl-crested aracari duo, Rose and Rufus! We’re racing to the finish line so they can move into their flight-friendly new quarters.
Don't forget to stop by and say hello next time you’re at the @araratridgezoo !
Most of the animals required on the ark were birds since there were seven pairs of each. This area shows how the family may have kept these creatures.
Emzara looks on as Noah reaches out to bring in the dove that has returned with an olive leaf in its beak.
In addition to being a place for Noah and Emzara to sleep, this area showcases many of their hobbies. Some of Noah’s maps and writings are on display, and Emzara’s animal sketches can also be seen.
It’s training season at the @araratridgezoo !
