"We had a lot of fun introducing some of our animals to the CSPD Community Relations team. Last year, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo was closed for three months during COVID-19, which meant we couldn't invite guests to the Zoo to be inspired to join our mission to save wild places and wildlife. Being able to partner with CSPD to bring conservation messages and happy animal content to their online community during a difficult time was incredibly rewarding," said Rachel Wright, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Public Relations and Social Media Manager.
