One happy capy family enjoying a summer treat 🧊🔆 #metrorichmondzoo #rva #animals #cuteanimals #capybara | Metro Richmond Zoo

Our zookeepers are pumped to have moved into their new building this week after a fire destroyed the original structure back in June. See where the magic happens in this fun tour of the new facilities by zookeeper Whitlee. ☺️🐆 | Metro Richmond Zoo

It's been four months since a serious fire occurred in behind-the-scenes areas of the zoo. This new documentary tells the story of what happened that night and sheds light on the heroic acts of firefighters, emergency personnel, and zoo staff. We hope you enjoy it! ~ Music Credit: "Ashes" by Cold Cinema: https://inaudio.org/track/ashes-trailer/ "Honor" by Whitesand: https://soundcloud.com/martynaslau "Slovenia" by unfeel: https://open.spotify.com/track/2VQ4HGLbHWKyoSOkh7pzY4?si=04e115028cc442d9

Poppy may be one year old, but baby hippo chaos energy doesn’t take a snow day. While it’s freezing outside, Poppy and Iris are staying cozy in the indoor pool, where it’s a humid 85 degrees. | Metro Richmond Zoo
