We’re wrapping up the premiere year of Our Herd with night keepers Tara and Kristi! While daytime staff and guests head home for the night, our animals still need care around the clock, every single day of the year – and our incredible overnight zoo keepers are there to make sure that happens.
Being at the Zoo in the middle of the night leads to some great stories, unforgettable moments, and even a few unexpected husbandry opportunities. This episode has plenty to enjoy as we close out the season.
Happy holidays from the Toledo Zoo and the Our Herd podcast crew! We’re so excited to see what’s ahead for the podcast in 2026.
