This weekend we will be celebrating Endangered Species Day at the zoo! This is a day set aside to not only celebrate endangered species that exist around the world, but also to raise awareness about them and act for their protection.
An “endangered species” is a type of animal or plant that is at risk of extinction. Essentially, their population is declining, and if we do not act to help them, they could completely disappear from the world. A major goal of zoos is to protect endangered species and ensure their survival for future generations. To accomplish this, we need your help! This is why we share information about how to help endangered species around the world.
FROM ZOO TO YOU

The weather is warming up. Flowers and trees are blooming. It’s a good time to enjoy the great outdoors and Lee Richardson Zoo! The zoo has something for everyone.
Watch the baby rhino and other animal favorites. Animal species from around the world reside at Lee Richardson Zoo. There are carnivores, raptors, waterfowl, hooved animals, tall ones, short ones, tan ones, spotted ones, noisy ones, and quiet ones. Many of the species face challenges in the wild that threaten their continued survival. It is a unique opportunity to connect with animals such as the critically endangered black rhino, the lemurs of Primate Forest, or a number of other species with which we share the planet.
