On this #worldelephantday, we mourn the loss of Suki. One of the oldest and most beloved residents @ptdefiancezoo, Suki stood as an ambassador for elephants around the world. She offered a connection to her species, and that connection plays a vital role in the success of elephant conservation.
Last Saturday, the zoo veterinarian and animal care teams made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize Suki after a steady decline in health over the past few weeks. At nearly 60, Suki lived far beyond the median life expectancy of 48 for female Asian elephants in human care.
Suki will be sorely missed by so many.

Enrichment time! We love funding enrichment, and with the support of our donors we were able to have a custom puzzle feeder created for Balzak and Lakina, our two walruses @ptdefiancezoo. Enrichment is an integral part of animal welfare. Click the link in our bio and Adopt-A-Species to support animal enrichment.

Nothing like a sunny cat nap . Clouded leopards, like many felines, enjoy resting in sunny spots. However, this arboreal species prefers napping up in the trees.

Last Saturday members of our Vision Keepers club along with community leaders were invited to a special sneak peek of the newly renovated Tropical Reef Aquarium @ptdefiancezoo! Guests enjoyed complimentary drinks and appetizers before being immersed in a tropical paradise, where they were the first to experience the new invertebrate touch tank, colorful lagoon, and refreshed outer reef. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to provide support towards the overall guest experience and the upcoming live coral exhibit due to open this fall.
