More Than A ZOO: SPRING

Spring at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens was a season of new life and conservation progress, marked by the birth of several animal babies, including two pronghorn fawns and a yellow-footed rock wallaby joey. The arrival of two baby bobcats brought excitement and hope, even as the zoo mourned the loss of its nearly 23-year-old bobcat, honoring a long life under dedicated care. Conservation successes extended beyond the main campus to the Desert Carnivore Conservation Center, where staff celebrated the arrival of a new sand cat and its careful introduction to a potential mate, supporting breeding efforts for this elusive species and reinforcing the zoo's commitment to protecting desert wildlife. The zoo also opened the new Bighorn Cafe and Splash pad to visitors.
