Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is at Broad River.
2 days ago
This week our horticulture team paddled the Broad River collecting seeds to help protect a rare native plant, the Rocky Shoals Spider Lily. Due to several factors, there has been a steady decline in population of this beautiful plant. We have been involved in conservation efforts, such as seed collection and population monitoring, for over 20 years with hopes to reintroduce crops grown from the seeds collected.

Today is National Pink Flamingo Day!🦩
#DYK there are 6 different species of flamingos found around the world?
Though we often think of flamingos living in coastal tropical habitats, they can also be found living at altitudes of up to 15,000 feet in the Andes Mountains of South America!

Congratulations Sue Marr! As a longtime zoo volunteer, last week Sue did her 2,000th dive in our aquarium's Indo-Pacific Tank. While diving she assists our team by feeding fish, arranging habitats and cleaning the inside of the tanks. Sue feels her time at Riverbanks allows her to teach others the importance of personal conservation efforts. You too can take the steps to impact conservation in your everyday lives!

Join us as we celebrate #WorldSeaTurtleDay!
Even with the ARCC renovations, our keepers are still working diligently every single day to provide our animals with excellent care!
Did you know that today nearly all species of sea turtles are classified as either threatened or endangered? There are so many ways you can help protect these important marine reptiles though!
Cutting down on single use plastic is one great way to get started!♻️
Want to get more hands on? Volunteer for a beach or river cleanup in your area!🏖Photos from Riverbanks Zoo and Garden's post ... See moreSee less

Happy World Oceans Day!🌊
To celebrate we would like to give you a sneak peak into the ARCC, and introduce you to our new ocellaris clownfish! These tiny orange fish are known for their symbiotic relationship with anemones which we call mutualism. This means that both species benefit from different aspects of the relationship.
The ocellaris clownfish arrived during construction and after being cared for in a temporary tank, they have finally been moved to their permanent exhibit to adjust. While new exhibits are still being fabricated and the ARCC is undergoing many changes our animal care staff continues to care for hundreds of fishes and invertebrates daily here at the zoo. #WorldOceansDay #riverbankszoo ...

ZaKota turns 4 years old today! Be sure to wish him a happy birthday🎂
A spitting image of his father, Cenzoo; ZaKota can often be seen climbing trees, doing somersaults and bugging his brother Moyo. But hey, when it's your birthday he just has to put up with it😊
Guests and keepers alike love to watch him as he darts around the yard like a little ball of energy before hopping on mom's back when its time for a nap. #riverbankszoo #Gorilla #zoobirthdayPhotos from Riverbanks Zoo and Garden's post ... See moreSee less
