Protect Our Pueblo Gem: Vote Yes on 2B

Did you know Pueblo is home to one of only three zoos in the entire state of Colorado? The Pueblo Zoo isn't just a place to see animals—it's where generations of local families have made memories and where our kids learn.

If we lose it, we don't just lose the animals; we risk leaving an empty, deteriorating space in the middle of City Park. Nobody gets excited about tax increases, but some things are worth investing in. Let's protect this Pueblo gem and keep our zoo right where it belongs!

For this , we have Red Section Keeper, Aly! What better way to celebrate than by helping you become more aware of our penguins here at Pueblo Zoo?

In this video, Aly takes us through the ways our Keepers identify the 12 different penguins on exhibit. In case you didn't know, our penguins have colored bands on their wings - females have bands on their left, males on the right, and mated pairs have matching colors. Another method of identification is their feather patterns; though at first glance you may think all penguins look alike, on closer inspection you can see differences in their feathers.

African Penguin Awareness Day isn't just about being aware of how cute these feathered friends are; it's about recognizing the importance of African penguins and understanding what we can do to help this critically endangered species. Aly mentions a few different ways you can help.

First, use resources like Seafood Watch to help you make informed decisions on the seafood you're eating. One of the major issues African penguins face in the wild is overfishing. By visiting www.seafoodwatch.org, you can see if the seafood you're eating is sustainably sourced.

Another great resource for more information about how you can support African penguin survival is the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds, or SANCCOB. Visit their website at, sanccob.co.za to find out more.

And finally, visit Pueblo Zoo. When you pay for admission, a portion of those proceeds is donated back to conservation partners, like those that support African penguins.
