| Start your day surrounded by nature at Breakfast with the Animals! These unique virtual events consist of talks about the zoo's inhabitants by the zoo experts who care for them. August 9: Lincoln Park Zoo veterinarians are available 24/7 to care for everything from 3,000-pound black rhinos to geckos the size of a one-carat diamond — and each of them require the same standard of care and veterinary ingenuity! Join Dr. Kathryn Gamble, Dr. Lester E. Fisher Director of Veterinary Medicine, and her staff as they share the challenges and successes of caring for the largest and smallest creatures across the zoo! September 20: Back by popular demand! In 2019, two western lowland gorillas were born at the zoo's Regenstein Center for African Apes: Mondika (mon-dee-kah) on May 12 and Djeke (jek-ay) on June 12. Their arrival, while adorable, was only possible thanks to the dedication of our Animal Care staff and the quality of our science, which continues to guide both infants today—as they grow, play, and climb! Following the meet-and-greet, you will have the opportunity to ask moderated questions about your favorite animals, live from home! The format of this event will be a short introduction, followed by an approximate 20-minute presentation and conclude with an approximate 10-minute Q&A. As a reminder, 100% of revenue received from tickets purchased support Lincoln Park Zoo's state-of-the-art animal initiatives, worldwide conservation efforts, and local education programs. |
