Creature Features
NEW for 2026! These animal days are organized and chosen by the zookeepers of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to highlight the species in our care AND in the wild to help guests connect with the natural world and learn why the conservation of creatures big and small is vital for creating a sustainable ecosystem and thriving planet.
World Primate Day
Sunday, August 30
Come learn about the precious primates that call our zoo home! These creature chats and bio facts will focus on what YOU can do to protect our planet's primate population, from using sustainable palm oil, helping fight the exploitative illegal pet trade, and dispelling common misconceptions and inaccurate portrayals of primates in the media. Schedule coming soon!
