Our zookeepers are the BEE'S KNEES! 🐝 We threw a big party to celebrate our keepers who work tirelessly every day to care for the animals you know and love. Join us in thanking them for their dedication by dropping a 💚 down below. #NZKW2023

Every day our animal care teams work tirelessly to provide exceptional care to the animals you know and love at Houston Zoo. 👏 Let’s give our keepers a BIG round of applause as we kick off a very special week. It’s #NationalZookeeperWeek ! #NZKW2023

Our Zookeepers give CharCUTErie boards a whole new meaning! 🥗

Trying to find stimulating and enriching ways to feed George the prehensile-tailed porcupine, keeper Emily has been making him yummy and healthy charcuterie boards! #NZKW2023

With fewer than 140 siheks in the world, every egg—and chick—is important to the species' survival. Front Royal keeper Julie Buschor moved quickly to save an egg that was laid on a precarious perch. It fell into a safety net, and the chick hatched a few weeks later! #NZKW2023

American Trail keepers welcomed Jo-Jo (a blind juvenile gray seal), Ronin (a juvenile sea lion with eating difficulties) + Juniper (an imprinted beaver) into their care. Their expertise, dedication and commitment has greatly enhanced the lives of these rescued animals. #NZKW2023

Happy National Zookeeper Week, from our troop to yours! #NZKW2023 #StlZoo

To keep animals entertained while educating visitors, our Small Mammal House keepers use enrichment to highlight important milestones, such as birthdays and holidays. It encourages animals to use their natural behaviors +gives our team a chance to flex their creativity! #NZKW2023

Neither building repairs nor renovations can slow down our Reptile Discovery Center team! This year, their efforts helped bring about *hundreds* of Panamanian golden frog babies (called 'toadlets')—a species that's extinct in the wild! #NZKW2023

Wildlife Health Sciences keepers Erin Stewart and Sarah Napolitano do an amazing job setting up exhibits, planning safe enrichment and acclimating the animals to their new environments. They also lend a hand with any husbandry care needs for hospitalized patients. #NZKW2023

What’s a day in the life of a Zookeeper, you ask? 🐾 #NZKW2023 #NationalZookeeperWeek

🐘 Raise your trunks for Robbie, Ashley, Megan + Rebecca—our amazing Elephant Trails keepers! Ever since Trong Nhi + Nhi Linh arrived last fall, the team has helped them acclimate to their habitat and successfully participate in our husbandry + medical training program! #NZKW2023

This past year, our Great Cats and Kids' Farm teams mourned the loss of some beloved Zoo family members: Hereford Rose and African lions Luke + Naba. But the team's solidarity also brought about one of their happiest accomplishments: Andean bear cubs Ian + Sean. #NZKW2023
