Hey, hey, it's #WorldOkapiDay! Deep in the heart of Africa, in the dense jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo, lives the magical okapi. ✨ Unfortunately, there are less than 25,000 of these incredible animals left in the wild and their population is steadily declining due to human encroachment and deforestation. . Here at the Sac Zoo, we aid in #okapi conservation by inspiring our guests to learn about these magical creatures, and by supporting the @OkapiConservation Project which works to employ and empower native people to coexist with this amazing species. . We are so excited to team up with @BikeDogBrewing for #AnimalsOnTap to celebrate and support okapi conservation. Make sure to come out tomorrow to try "Zebra Pants," a West Coast IPA. 🍻 . #ZebraPants #BikeDogBrewing #SacramentoZoo ...

For the first time ever, you can get nose-to-nose with an African lion at the Sac Zoo! 🦁After months of renovation, the lion pair, Cleo and Kamau, are back on exhibit, now with double the space of their previous habitat! The renovated exhibit is complete with a full glass front, a walk-through glass tunnel, two keeper training areas, and only 1 ½" of glass that separates you from the 400lb lions. 😱 All of the work was done in-house by our facilities and animal care teams with an incredible donation from River City Glass. Come out and experience the lions like never before! #AfricanLion #CleoAndKamau #SacramentoZoo ...
