The Minnesota Zoo hasn’t exhibited sea dragons since 2008 in order to design and create a much larger and more decorative exhibit than the previous one – an exhibit where both weedy and leafy sea dragons could be exhibited together.

 
Twin moose calves, one boy and one girl, were born mid-morning on May 20, 2009. The calves are the first moose to be born at the Zoo in almost a decade. Will be on exhibit Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
