15 Best Zoo Instagram Posts of 2015

In 2015, people fell head over heels in love with Instagram. In fact, some avid users even named their babies after the app’s trendy and artistic filters. Here at the San Diego Zoo, we might have other means of naming our newborns, but we’re still big fans of Instagram. With over 333,000 followers and counting, we’re making a huge impact on our audience by sharing stories, news, and updates about our facility and our conservation projects across the globe. Check out our photo and video highlights from 2015—and, if you don’t already, follow the Zoo‘s daily updates.
