Ngozi the Spotted Hyena Turns 25 🎉

Please join us in wishing a very happy birthday to Ngozi the spotted hyena! Ngozi turns 25 today, making her one of the oldest spotted hyenas in AZA-accredited facilities. Thanks to the excellent care she receives here at Denver Zoo, we’re happy to say that she’s gracefully entering her golden years. Our animal care specialists share that in addition to her sweet but sassy personality, she’s also become more playful and has started interacting with her animal care team more. To celebrate this milestone birthday, her dedicated care team treated her to some of her favorite things including liver, jello, whipped cream and a bubble bath fit for a queen. 👑 Happy Birthday, Ngozi!
