Brookfield Zoo

The Brookfield Zoo is ready to introduce its new silverback gorilla to guests.

Sometimes you just have to let your hair down and go for it and that includes polar bears. A polar bear at a zoo in Illinois was spotted living his best life on a recent snow day.

All good things do come to an end and sadly that includes the life of beloved zoo animals. A zoo in Illinois just shared the news that one of their bears has now passed after his health declined to the point where he was beyond help.

Everyone needs a friend and cranes are no exception. There's one in an Illinois zoo that has taken that a step further and adopted one of the animal caretakers as his buddy.

A new birth is always exciting, but even more so when it's an endangered animal which is exactly what just happened in a zoo in Illinois.

A two-toed sloth just celebrated her 7th birthday in a zoo in Illinois the only way a sloth knows how...slowly.

How do you tell girl bison from boy bison? Thanks to a new share by a zoo in Illinois, no need to wonder any more. They have a bison named Joe and another named Judy and explain the differences.

My wife and kids love tigers, but never knew this. An Illinois zoo has wonderfully explained why their tigers (and all tigers) seem to have "eyes" on their ears.

There are great zoos throughout America, but let's be honest there is only one great one and we are lucky to have it right here in Missouri.
