The signage at the #cougarmountainzoo was wonderfully straightforward: #zooanimals are #wildanimals and will act accordingly for their species, and no, you may not annoy or tease the #predators . Each enclosure's signs outlined the range of normal behaviors for the species, serving doubly for both safety information and education. #zoosmatter #dontteasethetigers #speciestypicalbehaviour #notapettingzoo (at Cougar Mountain Zoo)

“Wuuddya mean I’m endangered?” Sad but true... It’s estimated that there are fewer than 8000 cheetahs in the wild. Thankfully there are several reputable organizations working hard to save them, including San Diego Zoo Global. From ambassadors to help you connect in person to an extensive breeding facility and conservation work in Africa - I am proud to be part of an organization working so hard to #EndExtinction. . . . . . #InternationalCheetahDay #CheetahDay #cheetah #exclusive_wildlife #savingspecies #makingadifference #sandiegozoo #safaripark #zookeeper #wildlife_vision #wildlifeeducation #zoosmatter #conservation #wildlifeconservation #wildlifeaddicts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_KjP4nJW9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gapq2bsfer4g

If you ask a child to draw a picture of an animal in a zoo, chances are they will draw an animal behind bars, we want to change that image

The Zoo
