Bobcat spotted on the zoo pathways!
Construction has started here at the zoo and we're expecting to be closed until estimated project completion in April.
We look forward to seeing you all strolling along our new walkways!

Rascal, the black-crowned night heron, came to us in 1994, making him one of the longest staying residents at Merced Applegate Zoo. Rascal came to us after being deemed unreleasable from having a wing injury and damage to his feet. Black-crowned night herons reside in wetlands and are mostly active at dusk or nighttime. Come check out Rascal and our other carnivorous birds Thursday-Sunday from 10:00am-3:45pm!!
