Animal moms may get the limelight, but the Zoo’s animal dads often take strong parenting roles as well. See animal dads at the Zoo on Father’s Day, when all human dads get free admission (parking not included).
Dad will get a kick out of the Goeldi’s monkey family in the Primates of the World building. Mom Tallulah carried her latest offspring (born January 2008) on her back all winter and spring. In May, Dad Nino is taking over piggyback duties! In the Herb & Nada Mahler Family Aviary, try to spot the green aracari family in their exhibit. You may catch both parents caring for the three offspring that hatched in February 2008. “These birds have a really nice family unit,” says aviary zookeeper Bryan Kwiatkowski. After seeing the animals, kids can make a fun No. 1 Dad “button” with Chinet® plates in the Northwestern Mutual Family Farm.
