Polar bear, Snow Lilly

Snow Lilly; 35 years old – the oldest polar bear in human care
Eats 2-3 pounds of fish daily, along with 10 pounds of Polar Bear Pellets, 5-7 pounds of ground meat, 1 pound of lard, and apples and carrots
Arrived at the Milwaukee County Zoo in 2005 from the Bronx Zoo
Favorite “play activity” is bouncing her large ball on the bottom of her exhibit pool

MCZ is home to two jaguars: Stella and her offspring, Francisco
Francisco was born in 2014 to mother Stella and father, Pat
Pat was a wild-born, rehabilitated jaguar from Belize
Francisco was named after the illustrator of the book “Pat, the Cat,” Francisco Moya
Francisco has blue eyes, mother Stella has green

Humboldt penguin, Wallace

MCZ is home to 16 Humboldt penguins
Habitat is located near the main entrance to the Zoo; the first exhibit visitors see as they enter the grounds
Most visitors think the Humboldts enjoy cold Wisconsin weather, however the species is native to the mild temperatures of Chile
Penguins have access to indoor heated burrows in the winter
Keepers provide the penguins with many enrichment items (toys); they often swim through the water chasing their toys
Feedings from keepers take place mid-morning and mid-afternoon

Amur tiger, Kashtan

Female Amba is 17 years old and lives at MCZ along with her offspring, female Tula, and male, Kashtan (Kash)
Tula’s name means “quiet”
Tula was born in 2009; Kash in 2016
While Kash likes attention from his keepers off exhibit, all 3 tigers can be seen rotating on exhibit, both indoors and out
The tiger exhibits have pools – all 3 tigers enjoy playing in the water and interacting with enrichment items in their pools

Male Themba arrived at MCZ in 2003 from the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisc.
Themba weighs ~405 pounds
Three female lionesses have recently joined the pride in the past several weeks: Patty Sharptooth (mother), and her two offspring, Amira and Eloise
Patty is 5 1/2 years old; Amira and Eloise are 2 years old
The three lionesses arrived from Sedgewick County Zoo in Kansas; were recommended to transfer to MCZ by AZA’s Species Survival Plan®
Patty Sharptooth is shier than Amira and Eloise, and all 3 are slowly getting acclimated to their new home

Spotted hyena

The two spotted hyenas rotate their indoor exhibit time with the African lions
MCZ is home to male, Scruffy, 21 years old, and female, Nyota, 11 years old
Scruffy is distinguishable from Nyota by a small, shallow mark on the top of his ear
Keepers have trained Nyota for an ultrasound exam without being anesthetized
