ICYMI: Otters were spotted in the wild at @buffalo

ICYMI: Otters were spotted in the wild at @buffalobayou following this week’s storm. Kevin Hodge, our General Curator shares, “Otters are naturally in this area, but we haven’t seen many of them close to downtown until recently. The biggest thing that Houstonians can do is give them their space and help pick up debris in and around the bayou.” Read more from KHOU 11 via link in bio.⁣

For a guaranteed otter sighting, head to the Zoo to see our North American river otters, Jack and Belle, and two other otter species up close. Get tickets at houstonzoo.org. ⁣

As a part of newborn care for all animals at the Houston Zoo, our animal care professionals look for growth markers during regular checkups. Recently, the team noticed that ring-tailed lemur infant, Cleo, was smaller than they expected her to be for her 6-week age and not using her hind-legs to grip mom as tightly as she should. ⁣
⁣
The primate team and veterinarians huddled to make a plan to help Cleo pack on the pounds, starting with supplemental feedings. ⁣
