Just sprinted up the stairs of the hirschfield only to find out there are still 3 more minutes of intermission so I could’ve filled my water
Michael from the Lost Boys is to She Used To Be Mine from Waitress in the same way The Good Part is to What Baking Can Do
We should all keep sharing our opinions on an event happening as MSG today I’m really interested in hearing everyone’s nuanced and not annoying opinions

Our new silverback gorilla, Little Joe, took some time to explore his outdoor habitat for the first time today! He was curious about his new surroundings and did a little people watching. His keepers say he has a very sweet personality.

Exciting News! 🎉
We know you’ve been asking and we’re so excited to finally share the name of our baby gorilla…
Meet Cletey! 🦍💚
Pronounced KLEE-tee, Cletey’s name is inspired by a personal nickname of someone who has been a longtime supporter of Zoo Knoxville. Sometimes names are chosen by keepers, sometimes by supporters, and sometimes they’re given to honor someone special...and this one carries a truly meaningful connection.
We are so grateful for everyone who supports our zoo and the amazing animals who call it home.
Now that you can put a name to that adorable face, come visit and meet Cletey and Kumi in person! This little guy is starting to get more mobile and has been exploring his habitat on his own. It’s something you definitely don’t want to miss. 🧡
