Our black bear cub recently took a special trip off Zoo grounds for her first comprehensive wellness exam. Thanks to advanced imaging, our veterinary team was able to get an even better look at our rescued, orphaned cub and learn more about her growing needs.
A huge thank you to our friends at Topeka ER & Hospital for welcoming Kiona and providing exceptional care during her visit. We're happy to report she's a healthy, happy cub with plenty of growing (and exploring!) ahead of her.
Every exam helps ensure Kiona receives the best possible care as she continues her journey here at the Topeka Zoo.
