One of the coolest attractions in Boise is the Boise Zoo. The Zoo has recently added a new section dedicated to the Gorongosa National Park. Because of COVID, many have not taken the trip to go see the new animals along with the animals we all know and love who have been with the Boise Zoo for years.

This is one of the Steller’s Sea Eagles. These Eagles are new to the Zoo. Steller’s Sea Eagles are the rarest bird of prey. They are striking birds and definitely not a bird you want to mess with. You can find them close by the education center in the Zoo. (Photo Credit: Ayla DeBord)
