Check out our river otter sisters Savannah and Sophia Grace glide through the water! River otters have a streamlined flexible body, webbed feet, muscular tail, flattened head and short, thick neck. And have extremely fine, dense and velvety fur. (River otters have 450,000 hairs per square inch!)

🐛👀 Look what we discovered in our gardens - monarch caterpillars munching on milkweed!
Did you know monarch caterpillars ONLY eat milkweed? Milkweed plants provide all the nourishment the monarch caterpillar needs to transform into an adult butterfly.
But these plants are rapidly disappearing, due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live.
What can you do to help? PLANT NATIVE MILKWEED! At home, school, work - anywhere in your community! Just one mating pair and a good supply of milkweed could produce many healthy fluttering friends in our community.

We love digging in and growing with our community partners!
Last week our horticulture team paid a visit to our partners at Mast General Store in downtown Columbia to help beautify their Certified Wildlife Habitat. This re-envisioned space is now home to native pollinator plants and will nurture the smallest of our wildlife friends. Planting with a Purpose is a new Riverbanks initiative designed to inspire individuals, families, businesses, and communities to add much needed pollinator habitat into everyday landscapes.
Thanks Mast Store for helping us plant with a purpose!Photos from Riverbanks Zoo and Garden's post ... See moreSee less

It’s National Veterinary Technician Week! This week is dedicated to the remarkable people who help care for all the animals at Riverbanks. Veterinary Technicians wear MANY hats, especially at the Zoo. Their days can range from lab duties to house calls with the gorilla troop, and even exams on sea horses. No day is the same, and no task is too big or too small!
Join us in celebrating our two dedicated Vet Techs here at Riverbanks - Lisa, who's been with us since 2014, and Adam who joined the team in 2019. Both Lisa and Adam are instrumental in working with the keepers to train our animals to accept voluntary medical procedures like ultrasound exams, blood collection, and even injections! Our Vet Techs are a tremendous asset to Riverbanks; without their knowledge, dedication, and passion our WILD family wouldn't be the same. #WeAreRiverbanks #NationalVetTechWeekIt’s National Veterinary Technician Week!
