Congratulations to Kathy Woods and Morris Susaneck for winning this year’s Volunteer of the Year award! Read on to learn all about these two, and why they’ve chosen to devote their time to serving their Zoo.  

We are incredibly proud to announce that we have a new staff veterinarian working with us: Dr. Rachel Turner! Get to know this new Zoo team member and her insights on what it’s like to care for our Zoo residents so far.

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) has announced that Brevard Zoo was granted accreditation by AZA’s independent Accreditation Commission.

A new flippered friend is adding a splash of fun to our Conservation Learning programs. Meet “Jules,” a 3D-printed sea turtle model! 

We’ve talked about our three Florida black bears at length, but during the recent winter months you may have noticed less appearances from our bears. That’s because even in Florida, black bears go through a hibernation period, and our bears residents here at the Zoo are no exception. As we enter spring, and our bears start to become more active, we want to walk you through what they’ve been experiencing over the last few months.  

Sammy our 18-year-old Linne’s two-toed sloth gave birth to a healthy baby on March 14. Sammy, having delivered three babies before, is an expert caretaker, and both Mom and baby are doing great.
