Research data collection: the tools of the trade - Zoo Atlanta

Animal welfare scientists collect behavioral data to improve animal care, inform welfare decisions, and better understand the species in our care.  However, back in the day, watching animals used to mean balancing a clipboard in one hand, a stopwatch in the other, and a pencil clenched between your teeth—while trying not to lose track of who just did what. For years, behavioral data collection involved paper maps, hand-written ethograms, and hop…Read Article

Introducing a new rhino crash - Zoo Atlanta

If you’ve been to Zoo Atlanta in the last few months, you might have caught a glimpse of some exciting introductions. We have four southern white rhinos here at Zoo Atlanta who had previously been housed in separate groups. As of late April 2025, all four rhinos have been going through introductions, resulting in a new crash (another word for a herd or group of rhinos)! How do these introductions work, you might ask? When do we decide to put the…Read Article

What is a dummy egg? - Zoo Atlanta

Hello again! It’s Josh from Zoo Atlanta’s Bird Department. After being a keeper for over a decade, I have added words and phrases to my vocabulary that definitely didn’t exist before. At least not in the context that animal care professionals use them in our daily lives. Words like howdying, internal pipping/external pipping, and fledgery (this one may in fact be just a Zoo Atlanta specific).  This jargon sometimes comes out during my interactio…Atlanta, Georgia · AtlantaRead Article

Animals have culture too, and it's in our best interests to embrace it

100% Right coverage: 1 sources
Analysis: For much of modern history, the idea of ‘culture’ has been tightly bound to humanity. Our art, languages, customs, technologies – markers of our intelligence and social complexity. But over the last few decades, and especially considering recent discoveries, researchers have recognised that culture is not uniquely human.Social learning and culture also shapes the behaviour of the animal kingdom, and underlies many critical biological p…New Zealand · New ZealandSee the Story

Research publications: Who reads this stuff?! - Zoo Atlanta

The main product of scientific research is the peer-reviewed publications that announce the results and conclusions of the work. This is why researchers at zoos, museums, universities, research centers, etc. all focus so much on these publications. You’ll note that in many of these Animal Science Blogs, I will highlight a publication that supports the topic of the blog—whether it was a publication produced by researchers at Zoo Atlanta, or some …Research · AtlantaRead Article

The lions are still roaring about their new digs! - Zoo Atlanta

Hey everyone! Taylor from the Carnivore Team here, and if you have stopped by the lion habitat recently, you may have noticed some big changes – and so have Hondo, Hatari, and Azizi!

Checking in with North America’s only zoological population of drill monkeys - Zoo Atlanta

Did you know that Zoo Atlanta is the only zoo in North America housing drill monkeys? Inge Currently, we have one male, Enwe, and two females, Achi and Amaka. However, I can’t talk about how amazing our drill monkeys are without a little history lesson. Our monkey habitats were built in 1990; building took nine months to complete. In 1991 they were nominated for the Exhibit Award by the AAZPA (now the Association of Zoos and Aquariums). Our habi…Atlanta, Georgia · AtlantaRead Article

Advocacy in action - Zoo Atlanta

Welcome back to another Conservation Blog! This year, we’re sharing the stories of team members going beyond Zoo grounds to support conservation efforts around the world. Sometimes that means hiking through forests to track tamarins, wading into marshes to release terrapins, or trekking across the desert to study sidewinders. Other times, it means meeting to discuss population genetics, presenting to peers at a professional conference, or meetin…Conservation · AtlantaRead Article
