🧡🧡Brothers, am I right? The six-month-old leopard cubs in Asian Highlands and the two-month-old warthog piglets in African Savanna keep exploring and growing every day, including a little playtime with their brother!

Mountain America Credit Union : Visit in the morning for the best chance to see the cubs and warthogs when they’re most active. Plus, Zeya and the cubs have just moved to the habitat on the south end of Asian Highlands where you can see them practice their pouncing up close!

Welcome, Maxim! 🐯

Meet Asian Highlands’ newest resident: Maxim, a.k.a. Max, a 14-year-old male Amur tiger who recently arrived from Saint Louis Zoo as part of The Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan breeding recommendation.

Max’s care team shares that he’s settling in and already enjoying time in the water, enrichment (especially anything he can shred!), and voluntary training, which is helping the team build trust with him. He’s also quite the chatterbox, so you may hear him and Sasha vocalizing during your next visit.

Tigers are generally solitary animals, except during breeding season (typically from January through March/April), so Max and Sasha may see each other through the mesh fenceline as he explores his new space. As Max and Sasha get to know each other through scent and habitat swaps, their care team is taking things slowly and letting their behavior guide the next steps.

Max’s arrival is about more than welcoming a new resident to Asian Highlands. As part of the Amur tiger SSP, Max’s move supports cooperative conservation efforts among AZA-accredited zoos working to maintain a healthy, genetically diverse population of this endangered species.

❤️ Stop by Asian Highlands and say hello to Max!

🦒 How it started vs. how it’s going: ossicones edition

Horns? Giraffe pom poms? Tiny toupees? Fuzzy tufts? Baby bangs?

Mrembo’s ossicones may look like a sweet style choice, but they’re actually bony structures formed from ossified cartilage and covered in skin and fur. At birth, ossicones are soft and lie flat against the head, helping protect mother and calf during delivery. They gradually harden and stand upright as giraffes grow.

Talk about a head-turning transformation in one month. 🦒✨

🥬 Happy from Wild Utah!

Curious about the cardboard box? Briar’s care team uses boxes like this to present food in ways that encourage natural behaviors, including problem-solving and foraging!

Reyah is growing up fast! 🐾💛

These days, Reyah is all about PLAY! She’s getting more curious by the day and spending plenty of time playfully ambushing mom, Cleo. 😹 All that hiding and pouncing is more than just fun; it helps Reyah build confidence and practice the natural hunting behaviors she’ll use as she grows.

Whether she’s exploring or perfecting her ambushes, Reyah is keeping Cleo on her toes!
