Creature Features
NEW for 2026! These animal days are organized and chosen by the zookeepers of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to highlight the species in our care AND in the wild to help guests connect with the natural world and learn why the conservation of creatures big and small is vital for creating a sustainable ecosystem and thriving planet.
