Indoor exhibits are officially open today! Which means you will find us hanging out in Congo with the western lowland gorillas. Which animals are your favorite in this exhibit? | Bronx Zoo

Enrichment is something mentally or physically stimulating for the animals that encourages a natural behavior. In the wild, dholes would have to forage and search for food. Keeper Brent planted some bamboo for them and attached meat to the top of it. The dholes had to figure out how to get the meat. This also encouraged cooperative feeding which, as pack animals, is another natural behavior for the dholes. | Bronx Zoo

One of our favorite parts of coming back to the Bronx Zoo is seeing how the animals react to us. Like the African wild dogs that clearly took notice of new visitors. | Bronx Zoo

Have you heard the news? Dholes are here! We’re so excited to have these Asiatic wild dogs at the zoo. We’ll be sharing some of our favorite dhole info later in the week, for now let us know if you have any questions about this new species. | Bronx Zoo
