Due to rain, Once in a Wild will not be able to join the Monarch Butterfly & Pollinator Festival today.

The festival is still happening, so if you can, please go support this amazing community event at Brackenridge Park Pecan Grove near the San Antonio Zoo entrance, from 9 AM–2 PM. It is a wonderful day of nature, curiosity, hands-on learning, and family fun.

We’re disappointed to miss you, but we hope you’ll still get out there, celebrate pollinators, and support the people making this event possible.

🐹🦘 Brotha from another m***a!
Meet this adorable duo! The Patagonian cavy and the guinea pig. They may look totally different, but they’re both part of the cavy family! Long legs, tiny legs… still cousins. Come meet them at our next animal encounter!
