Brookfield Zoo

The American Red Cross held a blood donation drive at Brookfield Zoo to address its second blood shortage in less than a month. Blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low, prompting the event.

Brookfield Zoo is aiding the conservation of the endangered Puerto Rican crested toad, also known as sapo concho, through breeding programs. Bad Bunny's mascot, Concho, inspired by the toad, has brought attention to the species' plight, with the zoo achieving a milestone in its conservation efforts.
