ZooAmerica mourns the loss of beloved roadrunners Amarilla and Dash, whose passing has left a quiet void in the Southwest Garden. Amarilla, the zoo’s oldest roadrunner and a 14-year-old star known for her friendly nature and record-breaking longevity, was euthanized in April due to cancer. Dash, a 9-year-old romantic known for his courtship gifts and displays, died unexpectedly in June, with a necropsy still pending. Both were cherished by staff and visitors for their unique personalities and bond. Zoo officials are eager to welcome new roadrunners to restore the lively spirit of the exhibit, though no timeline is set yet.
