Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo, will be the first female Native American governor of any U.S. state, not the first overall. Johnston Murray was the first Native American to be elected governor in the U.S. nbc26.com/politics/ameri… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnston_…

Lunch thief alert! 🥬😂 Gibbon Aries had his eye on Baby Bean’s giant head of lettuce and apparently decided sharing was optional. Don’t worry, Bean’s keepers made sure she received her full diet. No anoa left hungry on our watch! 💚 📹: Animal care staff Katie

Two bears are observing a carved pumpkin hanging from a chain. The bears have dark fur with lighter patches on their chests. The setting appears to be a natural habitat with rocks and wooden structures.

Our one-and-a-half year old male striped skunk, Tux, checks out a giant pumpkin (“giant” because it’s bigger than him!). Tux is part of the rotation of ambassador animals that can be seen during the Hillside Animal Encounters at the Koret Animal Rescue & Conservation Center (ARC) at 3 p.m. on weekdays. With Halloween just around the corner, we appreciate all the pumpkins donated by our friends at Clancy’s Pumpkins! 📷: Katie M. 🦨🎃

Happy World Gibbon Day! Sound on to hear siamangs Sebastian and Berbak vocalize! The largest of all gibbons, the siamang is also the loudest as its musical calls can be heard through dense rainforest foliage up to two miles away.

Happy #InternationalGibbonDay! 🐒 Today we’re celebrating some of our most acrobatic and vocal residents. Swing by Toyota Elephant Passage to visit Vinh, our Critically Endangered white-cheeked gibbon, and Briscoe, our Endangered buff-cheeked gibbon. Then head over to Primate Panorama to say hello to Liam and Lola, our Endangered siamang pair. Gibbons are among the most threatened primates on the planet, facing serious pressure from habitat loss, hunting, and poaching in the wild. Their calls echo through the treetops and their role in keeping tropical ecosystems healthy is irreplaceable. We’re proud to care for four of these incredible animals here at DZCA. 🌿
