Penelope the Porcupine
Born to parents Piper and Quilliam, this young porcupine made her zoo debut in May. She’s quite playful, engaging visitors through stage shows and special events.
Imara and Tamu the Lion Cubs
These sibling cubs may be related, but they’re opposite in personality. The female cub is playful and bold, while her brother is more reserved, opting to stay close to their mom.
