Visit Cincinnati Zoo’s animal all stars this weekend and watch lions, elephants and painted dogs enjoy baseball-themed enrichment. Be sure to stop by the Elephant Reserve to see elephants break open baseball pinatas filled with their favorite snacks!

All-Star Animals

Check out our animal all-star lineup, carefully selected according to natural abilities! Many player assignments were contested by keepers, but the team manager’s selections will stand.

“Tigers are better at shortstop than lemurs — their legs are too short and they have no range — with those long arms should be at 1st. Lions and Tigers are your best double play combination. Don’t want to second guess the manager, just saying…” Mike Land - Cat Canyon

“I would just like to point out that a ring-tailed lemurs’ hind legs are longer than their arms, and are excellent leapers because of their impressive quads and ankle joints. They can quickly cover a wide range…. and not to mention have the mental capacity for quick thinking just like a short-stop should in order to make important plays.” Grace Meloy - Primate Center
