Guest Levi captured a great video that shows how polar bear Bo interacts with some of the logs in his habitat. Many of our animals push, pull, rub, or roll on logs. That is why we work with Dane County arborists to bring in new logs several times each year. Rhinos and polar bears are especially good at breaking down even the biggest logs! | Henry Vilas Zoo

What does a polar bear introduction look like? It’s probably less eventful than you think, which is exactly what we want! This is a video of the first time Siku and Nora met.

Once they were able to interact with each other, it was obvious that Siku was interested in Nora but he followed her social queues and didn’t get too close. Despi

How do you move a 15-foot long anaconda? It takes some teamwork! Anacondas are among the snake species that never stop growing! Once they reach maturity their growth rate slows down considerably, but they will continue to grow throughout their lives. They are the heaviest snakes in the world and can grow as big as 500 pounds! In the wild, anacondas live about 10 years, but in human care they can live significantly longer. Olive, our female green anaconda, is 21-years old and has grown too big to

As Madagascar hissing cockroaches grow, they shed their exoskeletons in a process called molting. Young cockroaches molt approximately six times in six months! They are particularly vulnerable to predators during this time because until their keratin hardens, they appear completely white, making them highly visible! | Henry Vilas Zoo
