MAMMALS

North American Porcupine

Skyáana is gentle and confident, determined to do exactly what she wants to do when she wants to do it. She’s a natural climber and will gladly climb for some yam, corn or piece of fruit. Molly is the mother of Skyáana, and used to live in the Northern Trail exhibit.

Striped Skunk

Harry arrived at Woodland Park Zoo in 2017 and his keepers are still getting to know him and his likes and needs. Stay tuned for more details!

Bunnies

Winston the rabbit has tortoise-shell fur, with lovely dapples of orangey-brown and black. Keaton, with the gray fur, is our Flemish giant rabbit. His breed is one of the largest in the world—males can weigh 15 to 20 pounds!

Nine-banded Armadillo

Amarillo can move fast when he wants to, but he usually takes his time, distracted by his amazing sense of smell. Although he’s small, Amarillo is capable of jumping 2 to 3 feet in the air!

Close-up of two white sheep, one in sharp focus in the foreground wearing a red collar, and another blurred in the background. Both sheep have fluffy wool and are looking toward the camera.

Sheep

Sophia and Loren are very polite girls with rather reserved temperaments. Like many of us, fitness is important to Sophia and Loren; these girls wear FitBarks to keep track of their steps every day! We’re sure you’ll love these ladies.

Two small, light-colored pigs stand outdoors on dirt and leaves, with one pig sniffing a pile of dry grass in the foreground and the other pig slightly behind.

Pot-bellied Pigs

These playful pig sisters love spending time with each other and with our keepers who work (and play) with them every day. Their favorite things include snacking on fresh veggies and getting belly scratches.

Two long-haired guinea pigs, one mostly white with tan markings and the other black with white and tan markings, sit close together on a plain white background.

Guinea Pigs

All the guinea pigs came from a local guinea pig rescue in Auburn, Washington. They were once unwanted pets, and now they are superstars with a great life at the zoo!

A brown and white goat with a beard stands on dirt near a wooden fence, chewing leafy greens, with trees and a barn in the background on a sunny day.

Nigerian Dwarf Goats

Our Nigerian Dwarf Goat herd is made up of a spunky group all named after popular Pacific Northwest flora and fauna; Bramble, Nettle, Rhody, Huck, and Snowberry are all quite social.
