We’re happy to announce a new birth at our Zoo: a baby black-handed spider monkey!

Our cotton-top tamarin family recently welcomed two new additions! Twins were born to our matriarch, Luna, overnight on Jan. 2.

We have some scent-sational Zoo residents to introduce you to: our skunk trio! There’s lots to learn about Oscar, Dexter and DeeDee.

We’re partnering with Florida Tech to better understand carnivore cognition. Our not-so-little coati band is shedding light on this largely understudied group of animals. This is a collaborative effort among several institutions to draw conclusions about how different aspects of animals’ foraging ecology, brain and body size, as well as social ecology predict their flexibility in problem solving. 

We are sad to share that Cricket, our 23-year-old cotton-top tamarin patriarch, passed away on November 23. His life touched his animal care teams deeply, and we will miss him greatly.
