Getting things ready for Bebu! 🐆💚

Before Bebu heads into his outdoor habitat, his keeper gets to work cleaning and placing enrichment for him to discover. That preparation gives our jaguar opportunities to investigate, explore, and use his natural behaviors.

A little scrub, a little splash, and a meal worth digging into! 🧽🐒

Behind the scenes, a zookeeper hoses and scrubs the squirrel monkey habitat as part of their daily care. Then it’s time for the monkeys to get down to the tasty business of enjoying their meal!

From cleaning to feeding, care comes in many forms—and our keepers put in the work every day. 💚
