It’s the most magical time of the year at San Francisco Zoo & Gardens! Create new memories for the entire family and experience the wonder of the holiday season during Joy at SF Zoo (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=de4e8fa39d&e=7683a9aed3) !

Guests can stroll around the Zoo and enjoy "Skipper's Elf 'n' Go Seek," to spot various elves (in some cases, just their hats and shoes) along with a festive, holiday joke. “Skipper” is one of the Zoo’s North American river otters, native throughout the U.S. and Canada, and honorary mascot of the event. As you try and spot the elves, take holiday photos in front of our charming holiday village houses staged around the Zoo.

Enjoy craft activities in the Leaping Lemur Café and holiday spirits for adults, and don't forget to take a ride on Little Puffer! We'd love to see your photos, please use #sfzoo when posting your holiday pics!

Stanford Children’s Health pediatricians Alyssa Bianca Velasco, MD (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=ceecc45b75&e=7683a9aed3) , and Jasmin Makar, MD (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=33850a4bca&e=7683a9aed3) , offer valuable tips for staying well during cold and flu season, such as:
* Schedule regular wellness checks.
* Prioritize vaccinations.
* Remember Covid-19 safety protocols.
* Make mental health part of the conversation.
* Include quality nutrition and sleep.

“A lot of people put wellness checks off in 2020 for fear of going to the doctor’s office, but keeping these appointments is really important,” says Dr. Velasco.

Dr. Makar recommends getting a yearly flu shot for everyone aged 6 months and older. And now that the age range for the COVID-19 vaccine has expanded, she hopes families will take advantage.
Keeping up with COVID-19 safety protocols--masks, physical distancing, handwashing, and disinfecting-- can also help ward off other viruses, like cold and flu.

Also, the mental health of children and teens suffered during the pandemic, and a doctor’s office can be a safe place to discuss things, says Dr. Velasco.

Our chimpanzee troop enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast of wild rice stuffed bell peppers with fresh cranberries, paleo pumpkin pie, raddicho & little gem lettuce! We'd like to acknowledge our Nutrition Center team, Eva, Anya & Carl, who provide us with amazing produce & fresh ingredients for creating varied diets for the chimps and all the animals here.
