My favorite...the Giraffe!!!
Love them!
I believe that feeding the giraffes is just as good a reason to count as a a backstage encounter.

🥳 Riverbanks' staff and volunteers collected 6️⃣0️⃣9️⃣ pounds of litter from the Lower Saluda River between September-November. And 4️⃣8️⃣9️⃣ pounds of that was able to be cleaned and recycled ♻️ These regular river clean-ups make a huge impact on our local waterways, especially as they flow to the Atlantic Ocean. ...

So only around 200 pound of the litter was non-recyclable. Wow!
Good job!!! Shouldn’t be necessary though 😢🙏
Thanks to you all !
Many, many thanks to the Riverbanks staff and volunteers for your collection of trash and recycling.Lets encourage everyone to do the same
Great job, and also shameful!
Where is all this trash coming from??

We just renewed our annual membership and set off to drive for over an hour to see the lights with our 4 extremely excited little ones. Unfortunately, Riverbanks was closed! There was no notice on social media whatsoever and evidently we weren't the only ones surprised as we saw several other vehicles during the few minutes we were there dumbfounded at the disappointment and wasted time. Our fault for not confirming you were open, Riverbanks, but please alert everyone on your FB and/or Instagram accounts when there are unusual closures. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

Did you know, anemones can have hundreds of tentacles? These stinging tentacles help them capture prey, and are triggered by the slightest touch. Once injected with the paralyzing neurotoxin, their prey is then guided into their mouth by these tentacles. 😱 ... See moreSee less

#FeatheredFriday Update: Riverbanks' flamingo flock is starting to look more and more PINK. 💗 All five of our Caribbean flamingo chicks that hatched last summer are beginning to grow in their adult feathers. But this color change won't be fully complete until they are nearly two years old!
On your next visit see if you can spot all 5️⃣ teenagers in their gray to pink transition.
