As @firstenergycorp routinely trims trees throughout the community to help prevent the impact of tree-related power outages, we collect a portion to feed our hoofstock & primate species daily. The sticks, leaves & buds are high in fiber & an important part of the animals' diet.

Our animals like to eat and they can eat a lot! That's why we are grateful to @firstenergycorp for their regular donation of tree trimmings, or browse, to our animals! Read more at akronzoo.org/akron-zoo-first…

There is a new muppet at the Akron Zoo! No, sorry - we misspelled snowy owlet. A snowy owlet hatched on 6/5 to parents Cirrus & Frost. Due to high temps, they are living indoors. We are hands off & the parents are taking good care of the owlet. Stay tuned on the owlet's debut.

The wonder of wildlife during a solar eclipse is truly extraordinary! 🌒🐺 As the sky dims, animals exhibit a spectrum of reactions—from curiosity to confusion and heightened vitality. Did you notice any interesting animal behaviors during the eclipse? @TheTorontoZoo @AkronZoo
