🎂 Happy 18th Birthday to Rain, our incredible Cape buffalo!
To mark the occasion, the team created a festive cardboard cake and sign, plus some tasty birthday biscuits. While Rain and Cindy opted for a calm breakfast in the rain, Puddle and Boots dove right into the enrichment fun.
It’s also #InternationalUngulateAwarenessDay, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by spotlighting this remarkable species. Buffalo herds play an important role in shaping grassland ecosystems, helping to maintain healthy savannahs for other species. This iconic animal is a rare sight in zoos, so if you haven’t met Rain and her herd yet, now’s the perfect time!
Come celebrate Rain’s milestone with us and learn more about why Cape buffalo are such impressive ungulates! 🐃
