Celebrate Vulture Awareness Day at the Little Rock Zoo!

Vultures are often misunderstood, but these incredible birds play a crucial role in the ecosystem by cleaning up carcasses and helping prevent the spread of disease. In Arkansas, we are home to both the Turkey Vulture and the Black Vulture, two species that help maintain the balance of nature.

Join us on September 6th for Vulture Awareness Day and learn more about these fascinating birds!

Did you know that Turkey Vultures have an exceptional sense of smell, allowing them to locate carcasses from miles away? Or that Black Vultures are known for their social behavior and often feed in groups? Come discover these amazing facts and more through special keeper talks, educational activities, and up-close encounters with these unique vultures.

All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss the chance to celebrate these essential creatures and learn how they contribute to the health of our environment!
