Sleepy Thomas 🥺💤
Thomas has been enjoying his time inside, behind-the-scenes watching movies with his keepers since he got here last month. But tomorrow's forecast is showing sunny weather which means... Thomas will be making his PUBLIC DEBUT!
Guests will be able to see Thomas explore his outdoor habitat for the first time tomorrow. You won't want to miss it!
We can't wait for you to meet the new cat on the block! 🐅

The Topeka Zoo is opening submissions for its annual conservation writing competition and introducing a new art contest! The new art competition is coordinated by the Topeka Zoo’s High School EcoClub and is supported by a grant from the Topeka Youth Commission.
Participants are asked to write a story or produce a piece of art to raise awareness about a real-life conservation issue such as habitat loss, poaching, climate change, threatened and endangered species and more.
All those who enter will receive FREE entry to the Zoo on Earth Day, April 22, 2023. There are five different age categories and a winner will be selected from each group. Even adults can participate! The winning selections will be on display for Earth Day, as well as for Roar and Pour Wine Fest on April 29.
The deadline for submissions is April 2. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement for the writing contest, and stories can include illustrations, comics, or pictures. Art pieces can be in any medium, but Zoo officials ask that they not exceed 2 feet by 2 feet in size.
Those interested can visit https://topekazoo.org/competition/ for more information about prizes and how to enter.
