Our lion brothers, Chobe, Karoo and Ruaha, have moved to their new, expansive habitat in Expedition Africa! The trio are still acclimating, but visit the Zoo on Saturday, November 16 for the official opening of our completed Expedition Africa loop as well as their habitat!

Our Expedition Africa adventure continues with the upcoming opening of an expansion of this area – including a new home for our lions!

Everyone in Brevard County, from residents to our Zoo staff, needs to be prepared for the possibility of a hurricane by the start of hurricane season! Read on to learn what we do to prepare before, during and after the storm.  

We wanted to give you a quick update on two of our more senior members of our giraffe tower, Milenna and Doc.

We recently brought our 36-year-old African spurred tortoise Tate, a resident of our Kangaroo Walkabout in our Lands of Change loop, to Dr. Alex Fox-Alvarez DVM, MS, DACVS-SA with Community Care Veterinary Specialists for an intense surgery to remove a large bladder stone. We’re happy to share Tate is recovering well from his surgery in a behind-the-scenes space.

We recently received three orphaned black bear cubs to be rehabilitated at our Zoo. The bears, named by their Zoo animal care team Pickles, Ichabod and Hazel, were brought to us by our partners at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The goal is to eventually release this trio back into their natural habitat.
