Favorite Posts of 2021: Maverick the Sea Lion Outsmarts Us All!

It's time for another one of our favorite posts from 2021, and today we’re featuring Maverick the California sea lion outsmarting us all! Back in February, keepers filled a large tub with capelin, herring, ice and a couple soccer balls, thinking Maverick would have to dig around and forage for his goodies. Instead, Maverick, truly living up to his name, dragged the whole tub into the heated water to melt the ice and make easy pickings of his fishy treats. Check out the video to see our smarty-pants (smarty-flipper?) in action! 

✨ Holiday Closing Reminder ✨ Denver Zoo will be closed tomorrow, December 25, to give our staff more time to celebrate the holidays with their families and friends. We hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season!
