Hey everyone,
We are about half way through week 4 of Zoo Camp already! Time is really flying! Over the past few weeks, Biocamp (ages 13-16) and Discoverers (ages 11 and 12) have had some unbelievable opportunities to get up-close and personal with many of Toronto Zoo’s cool critters and endangered species.
Tilly the baby Bactrian Camel (only a few months old!)
Last week our Biocampers had a behind-the-scenes with the Bactrian camels. We all learned lots from the keepers about these majestic and lovable creatures, and also got to meet the newest member of the Zoo’s camel family “Tilly”.
But that’s not all!

A group favourite is always a visit to Stingray Bay, where this year, (if you’re nice and quiet) you may also get a chance to touch a few of sharks that are residing in the pool as well!

On Tuesday of this week, Biocamp got to take part in making some animal enrichment for our Lion-Tailed Macaques. Watching them try to grab and open the treats using sticks and other tools within the exhibit was amazing. It was obviously entertaining for both the macaques and campers alike!
Well I can go on and on… but I guess I can save it until next week
Talk to you all soon!
Later gators,
