We counted over 500 black-crowned night herons in the trees around the Children's zoo today. Next time you are at Lincoln Park Zoo, come check out the largest colony of this state endangered species in Illinois!

We know urban wildlife is important, so let's get down to business combatting myths!
Myth No. 1: I should intervene when I see wildlife trying to live in my city.
Myth No. 2: Urban wildlife are pests.
Myth No. 3: There’s nowhere natural for animals to go in a city.

Give a warm welcome to Patty! 🦍 We're so excited to introduce you to the newest member of our western lowland gorilla troop. This 11-year-old female came to us from Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago on a Species Survival Plan (SSP) breeding recommendation with our silverback, Motuba!

Urban wildlife exists all around the world. How can researchers at Urban Wildlife Inst. work with researchers in other cities to share and compare data, and even work on collaborative studies? That's where the Urban Wildlife Information Network comes in lpzoo.org/uwin-studying-…

So far, we've talked about why wildlife matters. One big reason is that human health is interconnected with the health of animals and our environment. This concept of interconnectedness is called One Health and it guides much of the Urban Wildlife Institue's research!

What'cha takin about? Sichuan takins are large hoofed mammals closely related to goats and sheep. They have a distinctive, bulbous nose that helps warm up inhaled air before it reaches their lungs! A helpful feature for this hardy species 👃

Bats, rats, and coyotes, oh my! It’s an urban wildlife takeover ‼️ This week we’ll be into what it means to coexist with wildlife in an urbanizing world. Whether you live in an urban, suburban or rural area, you share your environment with wildlife!
