As mentioned in the video, today is an exciting day for us at Pueblo Zoo because these two chicks are the first pair hatched from their parents, Esmerelda and Dwight. While they won't be on exhibit, you can still stop by and congratulate the parents! #PuebloZoo #pueblocolorado #africangreycrownedcranes | Pueblo Zoo

6K views · 241 reactions | It's spooky season, and we're celebrating by participating in #batappreciationmonth! All month we'll be posting videos to give you insight (and hopefully appreciation) on our Rodrigues Island fruit bats. If you hadn't heard, our bats recently had four babies! This is especially exciting and important for the species, as they are an endangered AZA SSP (Species Survival Plan) species. With the addition of these babies, we're up to a total of 10 bats at Pueblo Zoo. Which means we host 4.5% of the total population in human care in United States zoos! The care and breeding of these bats is just one of the ways your small zoo can have a global impact. Thanks to Keeper Amanda for the behind-the-scenes access to our fruit bat exhibit. If you're searching for a more interactive lesson on our bats, visit us during ZooBoo and BooBonus for live bat talks by our keepers!
