Zoo Insider - Cool, not creepy!

Описание: This Zoo Insider we meet some of the newest residents at John Ball Zoo, the Giant Cave Cockroaches! These cool, not creepy insects originate from South America and help our ecosystem.

In the wild, they eat a variety of dead insects, animals, decaying fruit, and guano (bat droppings). While giant cave cockroaches are not household pests, they actually play a key role in the environment. Breaking down organic matter into nutrients for the soil allows plants to grow and animals to thrive.

We have plans for our giant cave cockroaches to become ambassador animals. They will visit the community to help teach the importance of how to appropriately interact with them and other wildlife, while bringing awareness to the mission of John Ball Zoo.

We encourage you to learn more about the many ‘cool, not creepy’ animals that inhabit our planet. Our Association of Zoos and Aquarium partner the San Diego Zoo has a fun ‘cool, not creepy’ page on their website that talks about tarantulas, bats, and others!
