Mixing Things Up in our Habitats

Wander around our Zoo, and you’ll find some habitats are home to a variety of animals. These multi- or mixed-species spaces provide a unique experience for our animals and guests alike.

Another Sleepy Season for Our Bears

We’ve talked about our three Florida black bears at length, but during the recent winter months you may have noticed less appearances from our bears. That’s because even in Florida, black bears go through a hibernation period, and our bears residents here at the Zoo are no exception. As we enter spring, and our bears start to become more active, we want to walk you through what they’ve been experiencing over the last few months.
