Collaboration is key to conservation, and bringing together experts, students and wildlife enthusiasts helps advance our understanding of these fascinating reptiles and the challenges they face in the wild.
At the Topeka Zoo, we’re committed to enriching our community through wildlife conservation and education. We’re excited to work alongside Washburn University to support conservation efforts and inspire a deeper appreciation for the wildlife we share our world with.
Together, we’re making a difference for wildlife—one shell at a time! 🐢
Our smaller ostrich was given her name by her animal care team before voting began: Ducky!
And thanks to your votes, our larger ostrich now has a name, too: Petrie!
Thank you to everyone who cast a vote! Stay tuned for updates on when these two will venture out into the big yard. For now, sneak a peek of them hanging out behind the giraffes.
We'll see you at Boo at the Zoo tomorrow! 🎃👻
