The Indianapolis Zoo has two walruses in its collection. The adult female, Aurora, is a dark brown/gray color and our juvenile male, Nereus, who is known throughout the world due to his appearance on the Animal Planet show, "Growing Up Walrus," is dark brown. Check out Nereus' tusks!
Elephant Cam
 Click here to see our African elephants in their exhibit. The Zoo's elephant herd includes a juvenile male, Ajani, who was born in 2000 to one of adult females, Ivory, via artificial insemination. We have three other adult females - Sophi, our oldest and largest female (the one with the notch in her left ear), and titular matriarch of the group; Kubwa, the tallest of the females; and, Tombi, the one with the straight and beautiful tusks. We also have two "babies" - Kedar, a male born to Kubwa in 2005, and Zahara, Ivory's little female, born in August 2006 (that's her in the photo). They appear in different configurations throughout the day, so see if you can figure out which ones are on exhibit!
Sea Lion Cam
Click here to see our sea lions and seals on exhibit. Check out the residents of the Seal/Sea Lion Exhibit, which include three California sea lions, three harbor seals and a two grey seals. The sea lions include females Marcy and Snapper and juvenile male Diego, son of Marcy. The harbor seals are Tak, Phoca and Lucy. The large grey seal is a geriatric fellow named Linus. He's the one with the big nose! We also have a young female grey seal named Peppermint Patty.
Penguin Cam
 Click here to view the penguins. Check out the rockhoppers, gentoos and king penguins inside the Oceans exhibit! The rockhoppers are the smallest species - the ones with the yellow feathers jutting out from their heads. The gentoos are the middle size birds with the plain white stripe across the top of their heads. The king penguins - the second largest of all of the penguin species - are the ones with the distinctive yellow patches on the sides of their heads.
Rhino Cam
 Click here to see our rhinos!
Currently, the Zoo has three Southern white rhinos - a male, Spike, and females Mambo and Gloria. Like all rhinos, these are endangered in the wild and we hope that our rhinos may one day breed. White rhinos are not named for their color; instead, the name comes from the Afrikaans word for wide ("weit"), referring to their wide mouths.
