Cosley Zoo

Did you know that May is Turtle Month? 🐢

Turtles are so important that they get an entire month of recognition! Each of these freshwater turtles is native to North America. It is very important to protect these turtles and their natural habitats as they are an essential part of our ecosystem.

Here at Cosley Zoo, we care for three Blanding’s turtles, four box turtles, and one painted turtle. One of our Blanding’s turtles is xanthic. This is a rare genetic condition that causes her skin pigmentation to appear bright yellow! 💛

Enjoy these close-up face pics of some of the turtles in our care! Which turtle face pic is your favorite?

It's time to spring into action!

Join us tomorrow from 10-11:30A to take part in our stream clean-up. This family-friendly event will take place at Winfield Creek, by Elliot Lake, just south of the zoo. All supplies will be provided. Please dress in clothes and footwear that can get dirty.

Ages 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

This is a FREE event but we do ask everyone to register in advance on our website! https://bit.ly/4tqnkYh
