Meerkat babies, a wolverine, even a prehensile-tailed porcupine — Zoo Boise has some exciting new arrivals!

Our very own Mónica Esquivel is something of a zoo enthusiast, so she joined Idaho Matters to share all the insider details about what's happening at the zoo.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
