It’s #WorldCrocDay! 🐊 Here at the zoo, we’re lucky to be home to two West African dwarf crocodiles, male ‘Papa’ (pictured) and female ‘Mama’. Don’t let their small size fool you – this is an apex predator that eats small mammals, amphibians, and fish. 🐟 #YourZooYYC

Our female woodland caribou ‘Primrose’ is turning five! 🎉 Would Primrose eat a primrose? 🤔 She might! In summertime, this species mainly eats grasses and graminoids, which are plants that look like grasses and have narrow leaves and barely noticeable flowers. 🌺 #YourZooYYC

We know what you're thinking: those ears are friend-shaped. 🧸 Grizzly bears have smaller, rounder ears than black bears in proportion to head size, and they look fuzzier because grizzly bears have longer fur than black bears. 🐻 #YourZooYYC #BrothersGrizz #DoubletheGrizzly
