Mary Sue Candies Sponsors Bunny BonanZOO Egg Hunt At Maryland Zoo
Baltimore, MD - Get ready to spring into action with four of the most egg-citing days of the year at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore! The annual Bunny BonanZOO Egg Hunt, presented by Mary Sue Candies, will take place on April 3, 4 and 5 – three days of Egg Hunt fun! Children under 12 can search for hidden eggs during the three Egg Hunts held each day at 10:00AM, 11:00AM and Noon. The Egg Hunts will be held in the fields of Waterfowl Lake Pavilion, near the Main Gate entrance. This year, the first 500 children each day to find and turn in 5 different eggs from the Hunt will receive yummy Mary Sue treats in a springy basket. After the last hunt ends, the focus changes to Keeper Chats and animal enrichment. Visit different exhibits throughout the Zoo and watch training sessions, learn about the lives of the animals, or just chat with one of our expert animal keepers! During three of the Chats you can watch as the keepers offer the animals a special treat developed just for them. Featured enrichment activities will take place at the leopard exhibit, Chimp Forest and Polar Bear Watch – please check the Zoo Map when you arrive for specific times. Other activities taking place during the day include Education Outposts throughout the Zoo featuring the hands-on discovery of skulls, feathers, eggs and more from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, and a 12:00 pm Puppet Show each day, starring your favorite animal puppets! On Friday the Puppet Show will be held at the Maryland Wilderness Conservation Outpost and on Saturday and Sunday at the Meeting Barn in the Maryland Wilderness Farmyard The event is free with general Zoo admission and is free for Zoo members, although some activities, such as rides and games, require an additional fee.

Unusual to have three snow leopard cubs
Congratulations to ABQ BioPark and the proud cat parents on the birth of three snow leopard cubs. That's fantastic news and we look forward to these three playing an important role in snow leopard survival breeding and also helping educate people about their endangered cousins in the wild.
Snow leopards live in some of the most extreme environments on earth - in high altitudes and freezing temperatures. If we don't do a lot of work with communities and governments in snow leopards 12 range countries, these beautiful cats may be extinct in the wild in our life time.

Love penguin fluffballs.
I especially liked if you go to the zoo's homepage and click on the info about naming the baby, the winner says she'd like to be able to tell her dad that a penguin was named after him for his birthday. Adorable!

Elephants
Asome news on the new baby! I agree with everyone here on the fact that animals should not be in captivation. If you want to check out a really cool place in Thailand where you can care for elephants check out http://www.elephantstay.com this place is a sanctuary for retired working elephants, it's an amazing place and they do so much good for the animals who live there. I went a few months ago and it was amazing.

zoo animal diet's
It's ridiculous to try extrapolate zoo animals diet to human beings, and it flies in the face of all science of the last 30 years that looked into nutrition and health research. Maybe Rudy Socha was being sarcastic? I hope so.
response to starseed
I fully agree with you when it comes to the captivity of orcas. These animals live considerably shorter, unhealthier lives than they normally would have in the wild. I am disgusted by what I have seen at Sea World. They claim to be trying to educate people on the animals when really it is all nothing but a circus with the animals being made to perform to attract customers. I am a little more on the fence however when it comes to some other species of dolphins, such as the ones they keep at Vancouver Aquarium. While I do not support the capture of wild dolphins, I do recognize the fact that there are species that actually live longer and perhaps healthier lives in captivity than in the wild. One of the neat things at the Vancouver Aquarium is that none of the dolphins were captured for the purpose of entertainment: they were all animals that were rescued after getting caught and injured in fishing nets and are unable to return to the wild due to their injuries. I have seen the shows and the aquarium are truly focused more on educating visitors than trying to entertain them at the animals' expense.
Christian's Award
I know that Christian is dedicated to her aquarium job and to the rehab of sea turtles. I am proud of her.

Don't support it anymore
I think we should move on from having dolphins in captivity now - we all know this isn't good for them.
