    “It's taken Colonel some time to get used to the new pools. Because of the bonds we’ve developed spending so much time together, he decided to trust me and got into the pool with more than just splashing himself and now we can’t keep him out.” -Christine, lead elephant trainer

    We can't wait until we're able to open our gates! Until then, we continue to care for the animals and maintain the park. An emergency North Texas Giving Day is taking place on May 5 as a way to support local nonprofits that have been impacted by COVID-19.

    Running into the weekend like... Wait, do weekends even exist anymore? For some of you, they do. Or maybe they don’t. Either way, enjoy your time with loved ones. And enjoy these little guys getting some exercise with keeper Olivia. (🎥: keeper Olivia)

    We do not yet have a re-opening date set. Watch our social media and website. We will share as soon as we have news! For now, we continue with content like Bubbles here, bobbing for apples. Exercise and tasty treats at once! How can we exercise and get treats at the same time? 🤔

    The Burmese python took a walk and stopped to smell the fishies. This “walk” served a dual purpose - it allowed the snake to get physical exercise and mental stimulation, and also gave keepers a closer look at the animal to observe his overall well-being.

    Happy ! Today we celebrate our planet and all of the creatures, big and small, that live on it. Take a look at our six-banded arrmadillo here getting down and dirty with Mother Earth, looking for food and also turning the soil. It’s a win-win!

    Meal time turned into play time for our hyacinth macaw! After keepers delivered breakfast, the bird decided to hold onto the brown paper sack from which the meal was delivered. Anyone playing with their food in your house this morning?! (🎥: keeper Jeanne)
