If you’ve visited our Zoo in the last year, you’ve probably shared a similar experience with our other guests: Debating whether the Madagascar hissing cockroaches in our Expedition Africa area’s baobab tree are real or not. Now, the debate may be over! We’ve welcomed 10 male Madagascar hissing cockroaches to our Zoo.

This month, we’re spotlighting one of our ambassador animals: a blue-tongued skink named Azure!

Our newest bundles of fluffy bird joy have arrived! Two tawny frogmouth chicks have hatched at our Zoo.

The habitat near our king vultures has been transformed into a new experimental space for five animal residents: the skunk trio, Shelly the prehensile-tailed porcupine, and Lorenzo the two-toed sloth. This is part of our new effort to provide our Ambassadors with even more comfortable, natural habitats while also creating more opportunities for you to get to know our Ambassador Animals.  

Get to know one of our cutest Animal Ambassadors here at Brevard Zoo.

This week, we’re putting the spotlight on the incredible animal care staff at Brevard Zoo. Read on to learn about our Animal Ambassador team!
