On May 10, one of The Living Desert’s eldest residents, Crawler the bobcat, celebrated his 22nd birthday. Crawler, originally from Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, is one of the three oldest bobcats in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. RoxAnna Breitigan, COO and former Director of Animal Care at The Living Desert, helped care for Crawler when he was just a kitten.
“Happy Birthday, Crawler!” read a celebratory note from the zoo staff.
A photo of Crawler as a kitten was shared by staff member Maren L., capturing an early moment in the life of this long-lived feline.
