Dickerson Park Zoo recently welcomed two new babies: a black and white colobus monkey on June 3 and a giraffe on June 12. Both are on exhibit in the Africa section of Dickerson Park Zoo.
You can see the babies as well as learn about the zoo's Burmese python at a special event Saturday, June 15. During March of the Reptiles, reptile keepers will carry the python, Beatrice, so guests can see how long she is, and they’ll talk about how they care for her.
“With the baby colobus and giraffe and the chance to get a closer look at Beatrice and learn about reptiles this Saturday, it’s a really great time to visit Dickerson Park Zoo,” said zoo spokeswoman, Joey Powell.
Dickerson Park Zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Zoo admission is $15 for anyone 13 and older and $10 for ages 3-12. Children two and younger and Friends of the Zoo members get in free.
