A guest feeds an apple slice to Josie the two-toed sloth during one of the Oregon Zoo’s new behind-
the-scenes animal encounters.
Close Encounters at the Zoo
Visitors can get up-close and
personal with even more of the
Oregon zoo’s residents,
New behind-the-scenes ani-
mal encounter tours range from
a painting session with macaw
artists Pele and Makani to a meet-
and-greet with the zoo’s lively
Humboldt penguin colony. All
encounters include a talk from a
zookeeper and the chance to ask
questions, take photos and spend
time with the animals in an inti-
mate setting.
“People have been completely
enthralled,” said Bree Winchell,
who leads the encounters with
Josie, the zoo’s two-toed sloth.
In addition to meeting Josie,
guests can pet Bebeto the porcu-
pine or take selfies with sea otters
— and Instagram stars — Eddie,
Juno and Lincoln. For a fuzzier ex-
perience, behind-the-scenes tours
are also available with the goats
and ducks of the Family Farm and
the tarantulas of the Insect Zoo.
All animal encounters require
tickets and reservations in ad-
vance, and some member dis-
counts are available. More infor-
mation can be found at oregonzoo.
