We’ve welcomed three female manatees to East Coast Zoological Foundation’s (ECZF) Rehabilitation Center at Brevard Zoo! Redrock, Rosalyn, and Erie are one step closer to their anticipated release back to their native Florida waters!  

It’s time to wish sub-adult loggerhead sea turtle Falafel and juvenile green sea turtle Julian well as they head home to the ocean!

East Coast Zoological Foundation’s Volunteer and Conservation Learning programs received national recognition this week with two awards from the Association of Zoos and Aquarium (AZA).  

Ready to meet Gail? This 2-week-old Masai giraffe calf has started making trips out to our main giraffe habitat in our Expedition Africa area with her mom, Kumi, and the rest of our giraffe herd!

We recently welcomed our 10th and 11th bear cub patients of the 2026 season to our Rehabilitation Center. Dolly and Olive both arrived in mid-August and have been recovering well in our care.

A nearly 6-foot-tall bundle of joy has arrived at Brevard Zoo! An 119-pound female giraffe calf was born to 12-year-old mother, Kumi, and 6-year-old father, Mapenzi. This little one is the first giraffe born at Brevard Zoo since Mapenzi’s birth in 2020!
