They acted like they had never seen toys before! Yesterday our Zookeepers added more new enrichment toys for the five ladies to our Amazon Wish List. It’s easy to order and, remember to use Amazon Smile so a percentage of your purchase goes to our animals.
Donated items like these make excellent enrichment toys for our animals! You can visit Austin Zoo’s Wish List for more ideas on items that can be donated.
Our animals love getting new toys like this Saurus Egg! Check out our Amazon Wish List to see an updated enrichment toy wish list created by Austin Zoo Zookeepers.

Lioness Amara celebrated her 12th birthday today with lots of surprises and treats from our Zookeepers. She especially liked her scent box and the venison hanging in the tree. When the rain lets up this weekend, come for a visit and wish her “Happy Birthday”.
