Red river piglets make a zoo debut

• Blossom and her two brothers, Chive and Basil, recently weighed in at about nine pounds each.
• They'll reach between 100 and 285 pounds when fully grown.

Of note: The zoo also recently added six new species of birds, three black and white ruffed lemurs, a herd of alpacas, a giraffe and a pair of cotton-top tamarins.

• Some of the new arrivals are credited to efforts in the last year to update the zoo's collection plan, spokesperson Ryan Bickel tells Axios.

🐷 If you go: Open 9am-5pm daily. Admission: $12-$18.
