Several of our tufted puffins are now sporting their spring and summer plumage! 🧡During this season, their beaks and webbed feet become a more vibrant orange, their gray faces transform into more shades of white, and their tufts grow back for the breeding season.
Happy 8th birthday, Hudson! 🎉 Hudson came to Point Defiance Zoo as a young calf in August 2016 and is now the father of Trebek (who lives in Alaska) and Willow. 💕

Meet the new kids at the Zoo! 🐐 Seven adorable baby goats, named Kettle, Biscuit, Hopper, Crumpet, Daisy Mae, Rhubarb, and Thistle, are just 7 weeks old and full of energy. The growing kids are being bottle-fed twice a day and closely monitored until they grow big enough to mingle with our current goat herd.

Have you herd? Seven adorable baby goat kids are now here at the Zoo! 🐐 Come by Kids’ Zone and meet the playful new kids. The 7-week-old Nigerian dwarf goat kids are viewable to guests but not for touching or feeding yet. We are giving these cuties plenty of time to get settled in and acquainted with their new home and keepers. The growing kids are being bottle-fed twice a day and closely monitored until they grow a little bigger to mingle with our current goat herd. Don’t miss a bleat; more adorable photos and videos are coming soon!
