Giant footprints have appeared in Audubon Park! 👣 We believe the footprints were made by prehistoric... After some investigation, we have determined the prints were likely made by Tyrannosaurus Rex, part of an upcoming exhibit at nearby Audubon Zoo: bit.ly/3SAyz0I

Meet Doug and Patty, the newest residents of Audubon Aquarium's Amazon Rainforest habitat! Doug and Patty are a breeding pair of violet turacos, who are obsessed with eating blueberries and grapes. Fun fact: the magenta/red color of the flight feathers of most turacos is actually a pigment that is only found almost exclusively in turacos, called turacin. Come visit Audubon Aquarium and see if you spot this gorgeous pair!

What would you name twins born on Leap Day? The Audubon Zoo (Audubon Nature Institute) in #NewOrleans decided on “Skip” and “Hops” for their two baby golden lion tamarins born in February. These babies are the first set of offspring for their parents, mother, Ipa, and father, Picante. Golden lion tamarin dads frequently carry the babies, and Picante is no exception. He is the largest of the group at Audubon Zoo and is often seen with Skip or Hops on his back as he moves around their home in the World of Primates area at the #Zoo. Golden lion #Tamarins are one of the most threatened #Primates in the world. 🌲 In the wild, they're found only in a small part of #Brazil's coastal rainforests. Their habitat is disappearing due to increased #Logging, #Agriculture, and other industries in the area where the tamarins live. At one point in the 1970s, there were fewer than 200 of these colorful animals left in the wild, but #Conservation efforts are helping those numbers rebound 📈. The pairing of Ipa and Picante was recommended by AZA’s Species Survival Plan® Golden Lion #Tamarin program, which collaborates to increase the numbers of the species in human care. 🧡 Read more about this tamarin family in Connect: https://bit.ly/3XGE92i. #Tamarins #ZooBaby #ZooBorns #Rainforest #Twins #SSP #EndangeredSpecies #Louisiana
