Attention all bookworms and animal lovers alike, have you heard about the #BonteBOOK club? Let us fill you in on the latest literary craze sweeping the animal kingdom.
Monty the bontebok is not your average antelope. He's a book-loving, page-turning fiend who is expanding his literary horizons with every passing day. Not only is he getting lost in the worlds of his favorite authors, but he's also getting more comfortable with the human voices and new surroundings around him. Talk about a win-win situation!
To celebrate #NationalReadingMonth, the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library has partnered up with the #BonteBOOK club to provide Monty with his very own library card and a stack of books. And Monty's not the only animal getting in on the reading action. The other critters are joining the club too! That's right, the giraffes, elephants, and even the monkeys are all cozying up with their favorite reads.
Keepers Shannon, Rachel, and Megan J. are doing their part to keep the animal kingdom's reading game strong by reading to their four-legged (and two-legged) friends. So take a page out of Monty's book (pun intended) and join us in the #BonteBOOK club. You never know what kind of adventure you might find between the pages!

We sure are LUCKY to have such beautiful facilities and animals here at the Topeka Zoo. 🍀 But even luckier to have such wonderful guests and followers!
You might not find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow today (it's far too cold to go looking!), but you're sure to find some beautiful green and rainbow scenes in our tropical rainforest! 🍃 Did we mention it's 70 degrees all year round in here? 🤔☀️
Coming to the Topeka Zoo today? Show us your green outfits and green photos! 💚

We thought cats weren't supposed to love baths? 🤔🐯 We think Thomas might be broken! 😂🛁 Check out this video of Thomas taking a luxurious soak and feeling paws-itively refreshed! 🧼
For those wondering how Thomas and Nisha are doing, here's an update from Shanna, animal curator!
"Thomas and Nisha are settling in well to their new home in Topeka. Thomas loves to be in the water, no matter the temperature outside! Nisha is doing outstanding at training and we’ve even begun ultrasound training for *hopefully* a pregnancy someday." 🥰
Have YOU seen Thomas and Nisha yet? 🐅
