Good morning! Did you brush your teeth this morning? 🦷 Just like us, dental care is important for animals, too! Max the orangutan learned from his primary keeper Crystal how to brush his teeth, all on his own!

Have you met Akasha? She's the new resident of our ReTIGERment Home. Now that she's past breeding age, she needs a great estate - full of amenities - to live out the golden years. Amur tigers are solitary, so having a private residence (and access to a pool!) keeps Akasha happy.

We are excited to announce that after months of construction, our new bear viewing deck is open to visitors! The new platform raises visitors above the bear habitat and offers spectacular views including into the pond.

So exciting!!

A great day we hope you have! <(°.°)> Image: Colter, a gray wolf with a light gray coat stands with his mouth open and ears on the sides of his head, looking eerily similar to a beloved Star Wars character.

Guess who has a tooth!! 🦷 Menjadi got her first tooth this week! She is getting more curious every day and is starting to explore more on her own. She still spends most of the day being carried, which will continue for several years, but this girl is definitely an explorer! 🦧

"Watching Cobalt and Admiral swim off into the ocean surrounded by other seals felt so rewarding. Seeing our patients swim away healthy is the best possible outcome of our program and it means the world to be able to witness this moment!" - ASLC Animal Care Specialist Emily

Look at my teefs! 🦷 Menjadi has TWO front teeth now!

A second bear cub—an orphaned grizzly from Montana—will soon join Juniper on the Living Northwest Trail. We are fortunate to be able to provide her with a welcoming home. This cub's story is a lesson in how we must learn to coexist with wildlife. bit.ly/bearcubtwo
