Our ambassador animals play an important role at the Zoo connecting guests to their species and other animals in the wild. Although not in a traditional habitat, you can frequently see them in animal encounters in Kidzone and other locations around the Zoo. They also play a leading role in education programs, birthday parties, and special events. Check out one of our education opportunities for a chance to meet and get up close with one of our ambassadors.
