Meet Yala, our 14-year-old banded palm civet. Civets look like a cross between a rat and a weasel, but they actually belong to a group of lesser known carnivores that includes civets, genets and linsangs. Banded palm civets are solitary night hunters equipped with tiny teeth for eating small prey such as insects, worms and crustaceans. Visit Yala in Night Hunters on your next visit!
Fiona and her dad, Henry, are getting to know each other. They prefer separate spaces right now, but Fiona is comfortable enough to explore his big mouth when there's a protective barrier between them. #TeamFiona Find more on their intro on blog.cincinnatizoo.org
Just like people, gorilla personalities are shaped by many things. Parent rearing styles, positive and negative experiences and peer interaction. Gladys and Mona are benefiting greatly from a strong sibling relationship. Their bond is ever evolving through play, close contact and even annoying each other sometimes. Sisters all the way!
Happy #caturday! Visit Chira,Batari & Izzy in Cat Canyon.
You’ve probably heard of the #cuteanimaltweet off – we think it’s time for a #FacebookFaceOff! We know we’re biased but we don’t think any animal can match the cuteness of this face! If you have an animal with a fabulous face, head to our Facebook page to post your picture! Facebook.com/cincinnatizoo #fionafix #teamfiona #hippo #cincinnatizoo #cincinnati #closeenoughtocare
Visit Alex our new female orangutan in Jungle Trails on your next visit. Orangutan habitat is shrinking at an alarming rate. Oil palm plantations are spreading across Indonesia, which produces 85% of the world’s supply of palm oil, often to the detriment of its rainforests and wildlife.The Cincinnati Zoo developed the Sustainable Shopper app to help consumers choose products made with Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.

The kid's commentary is priceless! Bibi and Fiona are spending time in the outdoor pool during public hours but on no set schedule. Fiona was 340 lbs this morning! #closeenoughtocare #cincinnati #cincinnatizoo #hippo #teamfiona #fionafix

Swiss, the largest of the female #CZBGPups, weighs in at 57 pounds. The African painted dog (also called African wild dog) may be the most endangered carnivore in Africa, with less than 5,000 remaining in the wild. Like other predators, it has been persecuted for hunting livestock and its habitat is shrinking as the human population grows. It is also susceptible to diseases spread by domestic dogs like rabies and distemper.

Sihil our ocelot is a big fan of the new Stonyfield organic yogurt packaging which features photos of her as well as many other Cincinnati Zoo animals. You can also get a free child's ticket to the zoo with the purchase of 2 specially marked Stonyfield yogurt packs at participating Kroger stores. #ocelot #kroger #cincinnati #cincinnatizoo #closeenoughtocare #conservation #savingspecies
