Wish List

Our keepers create stimulating environments for our animals through the use of enrichment like "toys", food items, and smells. These items provide the animals opportunities to engage in natural behaviors.

By purchasing an item from Alexandria Zoo's wish list, you can help us provide toys and other items that enable our animals to express their natural behaviors through playing, foraging and exploring their habitats.
