Closure Notice for Zoo Guardians Mobile Game
Zoo Guardians opened its mobile gates more than two years ago connecting players to wildlife and teaching what it takes to care for zoo animals from real-life conservation heroes. On Dec. 31, 2022 our mobile app will close. The game has been removed from app stores and current players can no longer purchase ZooPasses and gems. However, JumpStart Games will continue to support current users until 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST on Dec. 31, 2022.
We hope your interest for building your own zoo and saving wildlife in-game will inspire you to visit your local zoo or us in Washington, D.C. Conservation starts when people make a choice to act. Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to learn more about animals and our team working to care for, study and save species.
Thank you for joining the league of Zoo Guardians around the world.
How to Care for Animals
Happy National Zookeeper Week
In honor of National Zookeeper Week, we're recognizing some of the dedicated professionals who go above and beyond for the animals in our care!
Meet Our Rare Crane Chicks
Three fluffy feathered friends have joined the flock at our Front Royal, Virginia, campus: one whooping crane and two red-crowned crane chicks!
Body by Bugs
For the Zoo’s insect-eating residents, no meal is complete without live, nutrient-packed bugs.
Baby Ferrets Are Growing Fast!
Each kit in the litter is currently gaining around 1% of its body weight per day. Watch them on our Black-footed Ferret Cam.
