The American Association of Zoo Keepers
St. Louis Chapter
Animal Art Shop
All our paintings are unique masterpieces made by the animals, themselves. No two paintings are alike! When purchasing a painting made by a featured artist species, be aware that the painting you receive will vary from the example painting pictured on our online shop, unless you are ordering a print.
The animals do the painting but making animal art requires a time commitment from a zookeeper too. There are a lot of important tasks zookeepers must do on a daily basis to take the best care of the animals. We do our best to make animal art but there may be gaps in availability from some of our species. If the species you are looking for is out of stock, check back again at a later date. Follow our Facebook page for announcements about restocking.

Sea Lion and Seal Nose-Boop Ornaments
Roby the red-nosed sea lion and his trusty elf Mandy have been hard at work creating unique nose print ornaments. During this voluntary behavior, the sea lions allow keepers to dry their noses, apply paint, and target to small canvases, creating adorable heart-shaped prints for everyone on your list.
Just Added: Seal Nose Boop ornaments made by 2 of the Harbor Seals, Doris and Gabby! Seal ornaments are limited stock

$18 per ornament
*NEW IN 2023* Small Primate Ornaments
Some of our small primates have started making ornaments! The species that voluntarily participate in the enriching behavior of touching paint to canvas and plastic bulbs are the Colobus Monkeys, Mongoose Lemurs, and Francoise Langurs. These ornaments are much more limited in availability and are sure to shine on your trees this year! You can request a specific species, however, we cannot guarantee that you will receive the requested species. If the species you requested is in stock that is what you will be sent, but if that species is out of stock then we will send a different one.
