How many of these rainforest residents can you spot during your next visit?
Here at the Topeka Zoo, we have our very own tropical rainforest, home to more than 14 species of animals, including 8 species of birds!
In today’s video, we’re highlighting our Roseate Spoonbill, Violet Turaco, and White-cheeked Pintails. Keep an eye out this week as we introduce you to more of the amazing animals that call our Tropical Rainforest home!
Which rainforest resident is your favorite?
It's Bat Appreciation Month! 🦇
The Topeka Zoo is home to Indian Flying Foxes, one of the largest bat species in the world, with wingspans reaching up to 5 feet!
Flying Foxes enjoy fruits like mangoes, bananas and papayas. As they eat, they help disperse seeds and pollen across long distances, making them important contributors to healthy ecosystems.
On your next visit, stop by the Rainforest and say hi to our Flying Foxes!

Now time for the reveal!
The ostrich we’re calling “Big Bird” for now has feet measuring 9 inches long, while “Little Bird” has feet measuring 5 inches!
Check back next week to learn the names of these new arrivals!
Today is World Migratory Bird Day, a chance to celebrate the birds that travel across vast distances and the habitats they depend on along the way.
Did you know that some trumpeter swans migrate between their breeding and wintering grounds, while others stay in the same general region year-round? No matter where they call home, protecting healthy wetlands is essential for swans and many other waterbirds.
This year’s theme, “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!”, reminds us that every bird sighting can help scientists better understand and protect bird populations.
Our trumpeter swans, Silla and Miso, are here to remind us that every bird counts!
