SAN ANTONIO – Animal lovers can now get up close and personal to the creatures at the San Antonio Zoo — virtually, that is.
On Tuesday, the zoo introduced three new “exclusive virtual encounters" that could be streamed in the living room or the corporate board room.

For a smaller audience, virtual tours are available daily for groups of up to six people. These tours “allow smaller, private audiences to interact with our knowledgeable team while getting a look behind-the-scenes with our animals,” according to a news release.
A Zoom link will be sent with a date and time after purchase. These tours start at $30 for select animals.

A 10-minute appearance is $100, and a 15-minute appearance with a Q&A session is $150.
“An appearance from one of the zoo’s animals can help with team morale, break the ice, or spark creativity on your next Zoom, Teams, or Google Hangout,” the zoo states.
