Want to unwind for a bit during your next summer visit to the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Zoo Safari Park? Explore these immersive opportunities to relax in nature.

With the help from the San Diego Zoo's polar bears—and some amazing technology—we're learning a lot about the great ice bear.

Take a deep dive into the unique and semiaquatic world of the San Diego Zoo's river hippos.

Outcome-based Care practices are creating a whole new world for the species in our care.

When it comes to pollinators, most people think of bees, butterflies, and birds, gracefully flitting from flower to flower. But do you think about bats, mice, lemurs, and mongooses?

It takes quick action and collaboration to care for wildlife in crisis. We're uniquely qualified to help.

SAN DIEGO (May 17, 2024) – On the morning of April 12, 2024, the San Diego Zoo's Wildlife Care team was greeted with an exciting development. Meili (pronounced may-lee), an endangered François' langur under pregnancy observation for several months, gave birth to a vibrant orange infant overnight. This marks the Zoo's first François' langur birth since 2019, introducing a critical new member to the dwindling species population.
