We’re big fans of all things flora and fauna (and the conservation of that flora and fauna). Thankfully for us San Franciscans, our beloved local zoo is an endless well of biodiversity, wildlife education, and community engagement — niceties its social media team wields like a sterling silver sword.

Over the weekend, an upload from the San Francisco Zoo’s official Twitter account only proved that point further; Koan, the zoo’s first ambassador for his species since 1994, was photographed playing with a plush unicorn (with a rainbow-colored tail), presumably living his best life during Pride Month.
