What's New at the Zoo
See our Lynx Kittens in their Exhibit
|
Our Zoo's three curious, climbing and oh-so-cute lynx kittens have been spotted exploring their public exhibit. Born on May 8, 2013, the two males and one female have been in an off-exhibit outdoor habitat until they were big enough to maneuver the larger public space. The Zoo invites guests to view the growing kittens and their parents - mother, Magina (mah-jee'-nah), and father, Kajika (kah-jee'-kah) in Rocky Mountain Wild.

Releasing Wyoming Toads into the Wild
|
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is one of only nine zoological and government facilities that breed the Wyoming toad, a species classified as extinct in the wild. This year we are the only breeding facility that will be holding back tadpoles for future wild release and letting them develop safely for one year in a captive setting - a program and study being called "Head Start."

Kids Corner

Animals can be covered in many different things - scales, fur or feathers. They can also be many different colors. Having your kids study an animal's wild wardrobes can be both fun and educational.
