Discover the Exciting Changes at Blue Hills Ranch
Updated: Aug 31, 2025
🦒 Blue Is Getting a Giraffe Family!
Big news — our sweet giraffe, Blue, won’t be alone much longer! We’re getting two new giraffes who will soon join him to form a new little family. We’ve also got a brand-new giraffe fence in the works to ensure they’ve got plenty of room to stretch their legs and enjoy that big Texas sky together.
👋 Meet the New Coatis
We recently welcomed two adorable new coatis to the ranch! They’re still settling in, but doing great — and soon, they’ll be introduced to the coati already on site. We’re easing into the introduction so everyone feels safe and comfortable. We can’t wait to see them all together!
🍼 Baby Animals Galore
We’ve had a serious baby boom around here, and we are not complaining. Say hello to our newest (and cutest) arrivals:
A snuggly baby kangaroo who’s still bottle-fed.
A baby horse named Gilligan, already trotting around and charming guests.
Four baby calves, each one cuter than the last.
Two baby oryx exploring their new world.
Three brand-new baby bison, including one white bison!
A baby beefalo — which is a mix between bison and cow.
A bearded dragon — who is enjoying the Texas sun.
Baby ducks and baby turkeys winning their way into everyone’s hearts.
And if you haven’t met them yet, we’ve got capybaras too!
🐢 A Tortoise Welcome
We’re moving check-ins down to the barn area, and we’re making sure it’s not just functional — it’s fun! As you drive in, you’ll now see our brand-new tortoise exhibit. It’s right along the sidewalk, so you can step out of your car and walk with the tortoises as you head to check in. It’s a calm, up-close welcome to the ranch that we think you're going to love.
🦦 Otter Upgrade
Just in front of the barn, we’re building a brand-new otter home that looks like a cozy little cabin. These playful guys are getting the full VIP treatment — including the in-ground pool we added last month. It’s going to be a dreamy new home for our water-loving friends, and we can’t wait for you to see it all come together.
🎲 New Family Games Around the Resort
We’ve added a lot of family-friendly games throughout the resort to keep everyone entertained between animal visits. Whether you’re here for the day or spending the night, there’s always something to do (besides getting covered in animal kisses, of course).

Love the safari vibes! 🦒 Such a beautiful place with amazing scenery and wildlife. The photos are incredible and actually remind me of the kind of creative visuals you can make with Nano Banana 2.1. Really enjoyed this update!
Two new giraffes for Blue and a new fence sound great, but my constraint is traveling with a wheelchair-using parent: the tortoise exhibit along the sidewalk at check-in only works if there are curb cuts and a short parking-to-barn distance. Nothing mentions that. Gilligan trotting around is charming; I’d still cross-check access details with a shortlist of the best AI tools for trip planning before booking.
Teams evaluating sales and marketing tools often need a clear overview of what a platform actually offers before committing time to a trial. The StoreLibrary page outlines how data can be turned into actionable business opportunities, which is worth reviewing if prospect quality and business development are priorities.
The slow introduction planned for the new coatis stands out, since mixing animals can be risky if rushed. I'm curious how long the separation usually lasts before they're fully integrated, and whether the existing coati's personality shapes that timeline. It's encouraging to see that kind of patience prioritized over a quick debut, especially with so many other new arrivals settling in at once.

Will the two new giraffes be quarantined separately before meeting Blue, or will the new giraffe fence allow nose-to-nose introductions from day one? A baby beefalo and a white bison in the same baby boom is already a lot. For families keeping kids busy between animal visits, animal-themed printable activity sheets could pair well with the new resort games.
