Mill Mountain Zoo is a refuge to animals that are critically endangered, vulnerable, or otherwise non-releasable due to injury or captive birth. Not only do we protect and preserve the health and viability of these vulnerable animals in our guardianship. MMZoo is the region's leader in wildlife conservation. Additionally, we participate in research and species survival programs.

MMZ is thrilled to introduce the newest dynamic duo on the mountain--Sam and Sophia, a charming pair of N. American porcupines--and their baby porcupine, known as a porcupette, born on May 13th! Come visit the zoo to see them in person!
Whether or not you're planning your own Independence Day celebration, it's important to take precautions to keep animals safe both during and after Fourth of July festivities.
