Daisy the bonobo is almost 4 months old. Bonobo babies typically stay with their mothers for about 4 to 5 years, though their bond remains strong well beyond that. #animalsoftiktok #cuteanimals #cincinnatizoo #zookeeper #bonobo #primate

Sound on to hear a flirty owl! Tis the season when Sassafras the screech owl is chatty with all of his keepers. Although screech owls typically breed in February and March, courtship starts in December. #owl #animalsoftiktok #birdsoftiktok

1st Field Trip! The cheetah cubs are now old enough to start visiting other indoor places at the zoo. Today we went to one of the classrooms in the education building. They were a bit nervous at the start being in a new space, but warmed up to the room and had a little bit of fun! They explored, saw their 1st skunk, and were even comfortable enough to eat in this new space! #cincinnatizoo #zookeeper #animals #cuteanimals #babyanimals #cheetah #catsoftiktok

Fiona and Fritz try a a snow cone! Due to long stretches of cold weather in Cincinnati, the hippo care team has approved the hippos to go outside for a short period of time so they can stretch and get some exercise! Their pool is heated so they are nice and warm when they are in the water. Keeper Jacey made sure it wasn’t icy and cleared them a path in the snow to the water and keeper Mark gave them snacks and snowballs at the training wall!

When cheetah cubs Zola & Lulu are not eating or sleeping (which are both super cute) they like to teeth on various toys. Sometimes when they sleep, their little feet move as if they're dreaming! They also enjoy playing together and cuddling up near one another for naps & being with their care staff, slowly learning to walk towards them and enjoy getting socialization time with their keepers. Both cubs are getting better at walking and moving around and will be running around the nursery before we know it! #cheetah #babyanimals #cincinnatizoo #zookeeper

Another snow day at the Zoo! The Zoo will remain closed on Tuesday, Jan. 7th. Animal care staff has been staying overnight at the Zoo to care for the animals. Stay safe and stay warm! ❄️ #cincinnati #snowday #zookeeper #cincinnatizoo #animals

#ad Hippos are tough animals! DYK: hippos feel like a wet, slimy avocado! Hippos secrete a substance called "blood sweat" which acts as a sunscreen, lotion, and antiseptic. This One Tough Animal is brought to you by Bobcat Enterprises, Inc.

Up close with Zola the baby cheetah! DYK: Many of the animals from the beloved film The Lion King have real-life counterparts you can meet at the Cincinnati Zoo, like cheetahs! Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King is out Friday! ##Mufasa##ProtectThePride

Please wish Henry a Happy 34th Birthday today!! One way you can celebrate is by recycling your old cell phones. This helps reduce the demand for coltan, a mineral used in cell phones that is mined in critically endangered orangutan habitat. 🦧 #animalsoftiktok #orangutan
