It’s World Tiger Day! 🐅 The Zoo is proud to care for Sumatran tigers Rakan and N’dari and support conservation efforts for their critically endangered species. Their expansive habitat was built with breeding and wellbeing in mind — and hopefully future cubs! World Tiger Day shines a spotlight on the importance of these animals and the ecosystems they call home. We remain dedicated to the care and conservation of these majestic cats! 🐯 | Fort Worth Zoo

Spend enough time at the Zoo and you just might spot animals you’ve never seen before! Like Bowser, the 29-year-old alligator snapping turtle, who shares a space with Dan the alligator down in Texas Wild!. Bowser often sleeps tucked up under the cave in his habitat, almost completely out of sight. He will speed his way out of his hiding place when it’s time to eat; his typical diet consists of rats and rainbow trout. There’s a lot to see below the surface! 😉 | Fort Worth Zoo

No one does a watermelon smash like Bubbles the hippo! Clearly it’s a crowd favorite! 😎🍉 | Fort Worth Zoo

Hippo Halloween! 🎃🍬🦇 🎥: keeper Shauna | Fort Worth Zoo

‪Happy #NationalHippoDay! Hippos’ large tusks are not used for eating, but to intimidate rivals. In a single day, a hippopotamus can eat up to 100 pounds of food! Our keepers incorporate food into their enrichment to keep them healthy with a balanced diet.‬ | Fort Worth Zoo
