Support tiny tanks 🦏
Rhinos around the world are in danger of becoming extinct due to poaching, habitat loss, and the illegal horn trade - but hope is not lost. San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has been working to conserve these chubby unicorns since the Safari Park opened its doors in the 1970s and is home to the most successful rhino breeding program on the planet.
Consider giving back to nature this year by supporting our global conservation efforts so we can ensure a future for rhinos, together: sdzoo.com/givingtuesday

Today marks the second anniversary of our platypus pair, Eve and Birra, moving to San Diego Zoo Safari Park. They are currently the only platypuses that reside at a zoo outside of Australia and are helping researchers better understand monotreme behavior.
To learn more about platypuses in the wild, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance pledged an ongoing commitment of funds to field conservation of the species.

Bottle feeding baby rhinos is a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.
Each day, Wildlife Care Specialists at the Park prepare 11 liters of formula for our year-old southern white rhino Arthur. This tiny tank currently resides at the Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center where he'll learn important natural behaviors as he continues to socialize and integrate with the other rhinos at the Park.
Thank you to all of our wildlife care specialists for the incredible work they do today, and everyday for conservation. We appreciate you, and it's safe to say baby Arthur does too.

This tiny tank is ready to take on the world.
Our new greater one-horned rhino calf is a handful, and loves looking out for his mama. He has no problem honking at bigger rhinos when they get too close, and is having a blast exploring the Park.

Meet California condor chicks Met-ha my wahm (meaning “high wind rider”), Po-mahn-kwakurr (meaning “far-off flyer”) and Eyaip-poman (meaning “flies through”)—three of our newest arrivals at the Park. Each chick's name comes from the Kumeyaay language and was chosen by members of the Kumeyaay bands of San Diego.
Indigenous Peoples of North America have long regarded the California condor as a symbol of power, and we are honored to work with local tribes on this conservation effort.

After being recently listed as an endangered species, African savanna elephants need our help now more than ever.
Our happy herd moms, Umngani and Ndulamitsi, are helping us learn more about the chemical structure of elephant milk. This data allows our partners at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary to make highly nutritious, life-saving milk for the orphaned elephants in their care.

Platypus update: things are going swimmingly with Eve and Birra.
It may look like our popular platy's eyes are open underwater, but they're not. Platypuses close their eyes and ears when underwater and let the 40,000 electroreceptors in their snouts do the sensing.
