Grand Opening of the Animales de los Arboles. Visit the exhibit early to get a coati mask while supplies last.

Oakland Zoo supports ARCAS in Guatemala, a wildlife center that rescues, rehabilitates, and releases animals such as coatis. These animals were confiscated from smugglers attempting to sell them into the illegal pet trade. They also rescue parrots, macaws, monkeys, ocelots and jaguars and other Central American species.

Here are some of the elephants' favorite foods:

• Carrots
• Apples
• Ripe Bananas
• Kiwi
• Watermelon
• Cantaloupe
• Honeydew Melon
• Whole cabbage heads
• Stalks of celery
• Sweet potatoes
• Pineapple
• Pomegranate
• Oranges
