    Does the zoo hold Texas Dall or Danali Dall?

    The new seal/sea lion complex will now open in 2019 and cost $18.5 million. There will be a "Northwest Pacific coast landscape" and if you scroll down on the link below there is a 3-minute video showcasing the design of the exhibit:

    Looks nice! Glad to see Como will finally be able to put its pinnipeds outside in winter.

    The Como Park Zoo recently got a category on Jeopardy! The category was called "At The Como Park Zoo" and featured questions about, you guessed, animals that live in the zoo. The only thing I learned about animals on that category though, was that Como has Panamanian Golden Frogs behind the scenes.
