Another new species has joined the African Aviary—the southern bald ibis! Bald ibis are a vulnerable species found in eastern South Africa. They have a long thin curved bill that is used to dig in the mud for insects and other food. Be on the lookout during your next visit! https://t.co/Yv9ufJ3OXe
Female Bunny still takes interest, but Maisie prefers to be with the males right now. When Louie is around, Maisie shows more confidence with other members of the troop, and the chimp care team has noticed growth in overall attitude and playfulness from Louie and Alex too.

MAISIE UPDATE: Out of the troop members, baby chimp Maisie has recently become the most comfortable around males Louie and Alex. We are noticing lots of happy vocalizations and expressions during play. Maisie has even been seen belly riding on Louie in the outdoor yard. (1/2) https://t.co/BAd4NkX3Qe
@DebraCalabrese1 Hi Debra, Kasoje has met Maisie, but she is not grouped with him on a daily basis. Kasoje has been with Lola & Violet many times. He is very gentle and seems to enjoy playing with them. @DebraCalabrese1’s Tweet
We may be biased, but the Zoo is one of the best places to enjoy the changing #fall leaves! There's an abundance of events this season, so plan a visit now: https://t.co/Kh5eN0LbTE 🍁 https://t.co/bfLZiS2ORr
Can you believe it's the first day of #Fall2021? Grab your PSL, flannel, and credit card because it's time to purchase your ticket to unlimited fall-flavored #beer sampling at OktoBEARfest presented by Chase!

Thanks to our browse program with @MyBGE, the animals are continuing to receive the fresh leaves trimmed from your power lines for the fourth year in a row. Grizzly sisters Nova & Nita were recently enjoying a wonderfully fluffy sweet gum bed made by their care team! 🐻🌿 https://t.co/R2T314zeRW

Did you know that @Ravens mascots Rise & Conquer live here at the Zoo? Thanks to special training from their care team, you're able to meet them before home games at #RavensWalk. We hope to see you today, #RavensFlock! 💜🖤 https://t.co/iJOeKdA1HN
MAISIE MOMENT: Baby chimp Maisie's been in the outdoor yard three times now and has done quite well! Mothers Bunny & Raven helped her through the chute system to outside and sat next to her numerous times, while fellow infants Lola & Violet joined in her habitat investigation. https://t.co/TJYc6WtiIw
@ClenChelle Hi Michelle, the lilypads are currently being renovated and getting a new paint job. Sorry your kids missed them - hopefully they'll be back soon! @ClenChelle’s Tweet
You may spot new residents in the African Aviary! The helmeted guinea fowl have migrated from their longstanding habitat in the Farmyard to join their fellow African native species. They are currently adjusting to their very new surroundings and neighbors. https://t.co/c11qHQjo8y
Kasoje is groomed often by the troop's females and is easily recognizable by his well-kept appearance. Apples are his favorite food and he can often be found enjoying them while reclining in his signature pose, legs crossed and propped up on the wall. (2/2) https://t.co/74tObWAWat @marylandzoo’s Tweet
You requested more animal profiles, so meet Kasoje! 🐵
23-year-old Kasoje is the alpha male of the #chimp troop here at the Zoo. This role is incredibly important and he is responsible for keeping a close eye on all the relationships and interactions between troop members. (1/2) https://t.co/DAHyPy6XO5
Last October, she came to us as a tiny baby at 2 months old. From our care team hand-raising her day and night to her successful introduction into the troop, we ...

@solidaritywins @mettahapa Chimps are an #endangeredspecies whose population is rapidly declining in the wild. That's why we're actively working to save them. Our hope is that every person who sees and learns about chimps here is inspired to join us in this fight. Learn more at https://t.co/Nbc1QLykiP .
