🥚🐣 Big news from Virginia Safari Park… we’ve welcomed baby emus just in time for Father’s Day weekend! 🖤

These fluffy little chicks are already growing fast and showing off their curious personalities. Native to Australia, emus are the second-largest birds in the world and can grow up to 6 feet tall!

Fun fact: male emus are the ones who sit on the eggs to incubate them and raise the chicks after they hatch. Rheas do the same! 💚

Celebrate Father’s Day with a wild family adventure and come meet our newest arrivals during your next visit to the park 👀🦒

🐅 What Animal Wednesday Answer 🐅

Did you guess it right? This week’s mystery animal was the Bengal tiger!
Those white spots on the backs of their ears are called “ocelli” and help tiger cubs follow their mother through tall grass. They can also trick predators into thinking the tiger is watching them 👀

Have you seen our tigers during your visit to Virginia Safari Park?

National Zoo & Aquarium Month is basically a holiday for animal lovers. 🦒🦬

The giraffes think they should be the stars.
The penguins disagree.
