This may not be the best marketing practice... but just sharing that it's okay to take a break from your phone. 💚

Breaking the fourth wall is not our typical 'voice'- but the past week on social media has been anything but typical. Take it from a Media Manager- the things we have seen while just casually scrolling are tragic, depressing, and difficult to escape. Part of my job is to do my best to offer breaks from negativity, loss, and heated discussions with lighthearted animal posts and facts. But sometimes, even our updates are difficult and the only true way to get away from it all is to put the phone down or uninstall the apps.

If you need a break... a breath of fresh air... some animals to watch & put a smile on your face.... we are here. 💚

For those staying on socials, we will continue to do our best to be a page of positivity, compassion, laughs, and updates on your favorite animals & zoo events.
