In this season of Thanksgiving, at the Honolulu Zoo we continue to be thankful for our dedicated staff and the opportunities we have had to grow and provide even greater care for our animals. Keeper Bethany with our Keiki Zoo is one of those great examples. With support from the Honolulu Zoo Society Bethany was able to attend the Zoo Hoofstock Trim Program in Colorado to learn about hoof care and bring home her knowledge to share with other keeper staff. Together, everyone can work hands on to keep our animals happy and healthy.

Owls symbolize a variety of things from wisdom and intelligence, to the paranormal. To be a successful hunter owls use binocular vision, 270 degrees of sight, velvety feathers for silent flight and sharp talons. These precision hunting abilities can be seen across species, like the Honolulu Zoo’s pueo and barn owl. Check out more about these amazing animals on this episode of Zoo Niele!

Here at the Honolulu Zoo we partner with the Hui Manu o Ku and the Hawaii Wildlife Center to make a safe place for Manu o Ku chicks who need a little extra care before they are ready to fly off and fend for themselves. One of our educators, Charles, got a close up encounter with one of our young terns BK, who landed on his head!

Meet the newest “confusion” or group of Guinea Fowl to the Honolulu Zoo! Guinea fowl are endemic to Africa but have been domesticated and are widespread throughout the US, Britain, the West Indies, and are even seen in Hawaii. Guineas are hardy and largely disease-free birds with a great call that discourages predators and since they mainly eat insects can be a great help with pest control!

The common, or grey-winged trumpeter is found in the northern Amazon rainforest and Guiana Shield in tropical South America. They are named after their calls as they move throughout the jungle floor in search of berries and insects. During courtship they show elaborate and noisy displays, dancing, strutting, leaping, and somersaulting in excitement.

At the Honolulu Zoo we support the Manoa Cliff Native Forest Restoration Project’s work restoring the native flora on 6 acres along the Manoa Cliff Trail at the back of Manoa Valley. The hard work and dedication of these volunteers has resulted in the successful regeneration of now flourishing koa, ‘oha wai, ‘ōhi’a, hame, koki’o ke’oke’o, kōpiko, māmaki, and manono and the re-cultivating of this native forest - all located within 5 miles of urban Honolulu.

African penguins are a tropical penguin species that are found off the south-western coast of Africs between Namibia and Algoa Bay, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. These fascinating birds live in dense colonies on 24 off shore islands. These colonies are adjacent to very heavily trafficked shipping routes making them vulnerable to oil spills. They are also subject to habitat destruction and overfishing They are listed as an endangered species by the IUCN. Here at the Honolulu Zoo we support SANCCOB with their efforts to aid and rescue African penguins and other seabirds in the wild. Join us for our Concerts for Conservation on September 12th and visit our website for ways you can directly support the Zoo’s Aloha ‘Aina Conservation Fund. https://concerts-for-conservation.square.site/

Japanese giant salamanders are the second-largest salamander species in the world and endemic to Japan where they are commonly known as the Ōsanshōuo or “giant pepper fish”. They can be found in rivers with cold, fast-flowing water to help give them a well oxygenated environment. The Japanese giant salamander has been federally protected as a special natural monument by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs since 1952 due to its cultural and educational significance. Here at the Honolulu Zoo we support the Hanzaki Institute with their efforts to research and protect this species in the wild. Habitat loss due to natural water ways being converted to dams, the unfortunate illegal introduction of the Chinese giant salamander into the river systems of Japan, and hybridization risking the genetic integrity of the species all threaten the survival of the Japanese giant salamander. Join us for our Concerts for Conservation on September 12th and visit our website for ways you can directly support the Zoo’s Aloha ‘Aina Conservation Fund. www.honoluluzoo.org/concerts-for-conservation
