Johnny Morris' Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium

It's the last day of summer camps, and boy, is it bittersweet! We had a record 775 campers visit us this year! Our staff worked tirelessly with all ages – Kindergarten through 12th grade. They helped educate every future conservationist that came through our doors. Interested in becoming an educator with our team? Check out our job openings or apply for the General Interest position to put your resume on file for future openings! – https://lnkd.in/ee6BVra

This week, we celebrated our devoted aquarists, zookeepers, and educators. They illuminate the beauty of wildlife, help protect endangered species, educate our community, and foster a love of the natural world with everyone around them. Wonders of Wildlife wouldn't be what it is without every single one of them. Drop a thank you in the comments below! ⬇️

Everyone, meet Alice – if you don't know her already. Alice is a well-known Ambassador Animal for WOW, and you can often see her at community events strutting around (and maybe looking for some paper to shred.) Our Ambassador Animals offer educational opportunities for the community to learn about different species and how to help protect them in the wild. Our team is dedicated to providing a great quality of life to animals of all kinds with enrichment and training done behind the scenes. Be on the look out for upcoming community events where our Ambassador Animals will be, and come see Alice and our other ambassadors there! 📷 : Assistant Curator Stephanie

Happy Hatch-Day, Reese! 🥳 31 years ago, Reese was born – which means she has now doubled the life expectancy of a gentoo penguin in the wild. We had to celebrate her with a party for the ages! 🪩 Be sure to drop a Happy Birthday for her in the comments ⬇️
