We always knew our time with Agave the white-nosed coati would be too short – and we’re heartbroken to share we recently made the compassionate choice to say goodbye to her after 4 years of dedicated care from our animal and veterinary teams.   

Bon voyage Cassieopeia and Cheyenne! These two juvenile green sea turtles are back in the ocean thanks to the rehabilitation efforts of East Coast Zoological Foundation’s (ECZF) Sea Turtle Healing Center at Brevard Zoo.  

At Brevard Zoo, we’re always looking for ways to spread our mission to share our joy of nature to help wildlife and people thrive. This year, we did so in two unique ways – through special art experiences.  

We’re incredibly thankful for all the moments of impact that our Restore Our Shores team has had this year. Help our team make even more of a difference in 2026 by making a donation.
