Just one week until Adult Prom: Through the Decades presented by Fulton Bank! Don’t miss this epic throwback party: Marylandzoo.org/prom ✨

Look out, world! 🐧 African penguin juveniles Chessie and Ripken made their debut in the Penguin Coast habitat this morning.

A true sign of spring at the Zoo: not budding flowers or bright sunshine—birds! Today, warm weather birds 'migrated' back into the African Aviary for the season. Celebrate spring with hamerkops, blue-bellied rollers and more, plus a brand new species, the turaco!

NEW! Insert a Zoo Key at ten audio boxes around the Zoo to unlock interesting information about an animal nearby. English and Spanish narration is available, and keys can be purchased for $4 at the Main Gate.

Did animals react to the solar eclipse? We asked the Maryland Zoo bit.ly/3U8wlad

After her cozy hibernation grizzly bear Nita is still a little roly-poly, but nothing beats a round of ball to shake off the extra fluff! 🐻
