Happy #WorldJellyfishDay from our upside-down jellyfish! Did you know that these jellies are host to photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae? By flipping themselves upside-down, they’re able to get maximum sunlight on their arms which helps the algae photosynthesize. 🪼

Consider this squash SQUISHED! Last week, Bodhi the Asian elephant gorged on a gargantuan gourd provided by giant pumpkin hobbyist Brian Deevy. This seasonal treat made for some epic enrichment for Bodhi, and he loved chomping through all 350 pounds of pumpkin. Gourd job, Bodhi!
