Welcoming Our White-Nosed Coati Kits

They’re finally here! We’re thrilled to welcome several white-nosed kits to our Zoo family, marking an important conservation milestone for their species.

The Importance of AZA’s Species Survival Plan®

We’re diving into all things Species Survival Plan®! Learn how our Zoo works with the Associations of Zoos and Aquariums to make decisions about pairing animals.

Are You Smarter Than a Coati?

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.

Remembering Bailey the White-nosed Coati

We share with heavy hearts that one of our 4-month-old white-nosed coati kits, Bailey, was compassionately euthanized due to a severe ongoing medical condition.
