GIVE FROM THE HEART

Each year, attendees of our Safari Under the Stars have the opportunity to rally around a specific Zoo need. In the past, these projects have included creating our Exceptional Nature Space, expanding our jaguar habitat, building a home for rescued Florida black bears, establishing a breeding space for endangered Florida grasshopper sparrows, installing cameras in our animal habitats, and, most recently, providing new scales to improve animal wellness throughout the Zoo.

This year, we’re asking for your help to create a home fit for a king – three of them, in fact!

In 2022, we were delighted to welcome a trio of lion brothers to our Wild Florida loop. To accommodate their future needs and optimum wellness conditions, a permanent lion habitat is currently under construction in Expedition Africa. This spacious, open-air 15,150 sq. ft. sanctuary will feature lush vegetation, multilevel climbing platforms, coquina boulders, a temperature-controlled “chill pad,” and a training station to encourage our lions to express their full range of natural behaviors and thrive.

In addition, this habitat will offer stunning viewing opportunities and support the Zoo’s participation in the AZA’s African Lion Species Survival Plan, paving the way for lion cubs in the future. Please give generously to help bring our lion pride “home” to Expedition Africa and ensure that future generations have the same opportunity to experience the majesty of these iconic cats.
