Celebrate World Bear Day with the Little Rock Zoo!

Bears are powerful and intelligent animals that play important roles in ecosystems across the globe. At the Little Rock Zoo, we’re proud to be home to a truly unique species: sloth bears! Known for their shaggy coats, long claws, and love of termites, sloth bears are unlike any other bear species—and they’re worth celebrating.

Join us on March 23rd for World Bear Day and learn all about these fascinating creatures!

Did you know that sloth bears use their specially adapted lips to suck insects out of hard-to-reach places? Or that they carry their cubs on their backs, a behavior unique among bear species? Discover these fun facts and more during special keeper talks and bear-themed activities throughout the day.

All activities are included with regular admission, so don’t miss this chance to honor bears and get to know the amazing sloth bears that call the Little Rock Zoo home!
