The CMZoo giraffe tower is now exploring its new temporary yard, located next to Elson's Place and African lions! Guests can visit them in this yard while we build a 12,000-square-foot giraffe center, and expand their outdoor space by 25 percent. Until then, guests can feed giraffe daily, either in this yard or in the barn, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Giraffe feedings are $3 per lettuce bundle or $5 for two bundles. You can learn more about these historic upgrades to our giraffe habitat at cmzoo.org/g

Tigers, leopards and mountain lions make up a small but

During the cooler months, African penguins mostly focus on nesting and eating. As daylight hours decrease, they naturally pair up and settle in for snuggle season. While penguins don’t technically mate for life, they are monogamous and typically stay with the same partner during breeding season. The sixteen 'flockstars' at CMZoo have been together since Water's Edge: Africa opened in 2020 (and some were together before that). Most seem to have settled into their pairings or friendships.

The harvest season looks a little different at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. In 2021, CMZoo acquired its first shipping container farm, followed by a second in 2022.

There were happy tears at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on Wednesday, when Asian Highlands keepers celebrated the long-awaited arrival of two V.I.C.s – very important cubs. It has been nearly 20 years since Amur leopard cubs were born at CMZoo. Three days after Mother’s Day, Anya, a 9-year-old critically endangered Amur leopard became a first-time mom. The little ones are covered in black spots and their favorite activities seem to be snuggling, nursing and wriggling. They look to be about average size
