- Don’t adjust your screen — you’re not seeing double. Twin red pandas have been born at the Detroit Zoo! On June 17, Ravi, a 7-year-old male red panda, and Ginger, a 3-year-old first-time mom, welcomed twin cubs! Stay tuned for more updates!
- Hi, Twitterverse. We realize there are a lot of children out there who may be celebrating a birthday at home. If you tweet us their name and their favorite Zoo animal, we'll do our best to reply with a special wish. 🎂 #VirtualVitaminZ #DetroitZoo
- You will no longer see Detroit Popcorn product at the Detroit Zoo. Service Systems Associates (SSA), the exclusive service provider for Detroit Zoo concessions, cut ties with Detroit Popcorn this morning immediately after the comments were brought to their attention.
- A labor of love! We are thrilled to introduce you to Zara's new calf – who she brought into the world on May 31. See the comment stream to learn more. #DetroitZoo #Giraffe #Zara #ZooBorn
- A female baby chimpanzee was born at the #DetroitZoo early this morning on the first #WorldChimpanzeeDay! Her name is “Jane”, after legendary primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall, in honor of the anniversary of her first visit to Tanzania to study wild #chimpanzees.
- This precious moment marks a momentous occasion — Bandia is now the proud mother of the first gorilla born at the Detroit Zoo in our 96-year history! The baby is healthy and thriving under her attentive care and the supervision of our dedicated animal care team.
- Say hello to Scarlet. ❤️ This baby red panda has made her first public appearance at the Detroit Zoo! You can visit Scarlet and her mother, Ash, at the Holtzman Wildlife Foundation Red Panda Forest. #DetroitZoo #VitaminZ #redpanda #Scarlet #zoobaby
- Bandia has embraced motherhood in a big way and the pair are doing great! She now has the choice to stay in the privacy of the indoor gorilla habitat or venture out to the yard – meaning guests may be able to see mom and baby!
