Just swimmin' by to say our newest podcast episode is live! We're joined by Rainforest Revealed keepers Anna Foster and Mary Ellis to chat about our giant river otters, Felix and Ophelia. 🦦 From their many vocalizations to their silly antics, our brother-sister duo is as entertaining as they are cute.

We're full steam ahead!🛥️

Our Restore Our Shores team took their brand-new barge on its maiden voyage last week. This vessel will be an incredible asset to our team's Indian River Lagoon restoration projects, allowing us to build more oyster reefs further offshore in the lagoon. It can hold up to 30,000 pounds of coquina boulders and other supplies needed to build a reef, meaning we will be able to work more efficiently and, hopefully, complete more projects than ever before! We're incredibly thankful to our local donor family for making this purchase possible.

To learn more about our oyster reef builds or other lagoon restoration projects, head to restoreourshores.org. 🌊

May the Force be with you, Vader the green sea turtle!🐢

Named after the notorious Star Wars villain, this sea turtle came to our Zoo's rehabilitation facility with a commercial fishing line wrapped around their neck. After treatment at our Healing Center, we wished Vader well today as the sea turtle headed back to the ocean.

Ready to go home, one of our sea turtle patients is! Named after the notorious Star Wars villain, Vader the green sea turtle will be receiving an out-of-this-world send-off from special guests 'from a galaxy far, far away' - and hopefully you too! 💫

We’re sending Vader back to the ocean on World Sea Turtle Day – Monday, June 16 – at 9:30 a.m. from Pelican Beach Park, 1525 Highway A1A in Satellite Beach. All parking fees will be waived only during the release.

This release will be held rain or shine, although we may delay or cancel the release if lightning is in the area. Otherwise, expect us to be at full “Force.”

We found Nemo! The green sea turtle, that is. After four months of rehabilitation at our Sea Turtle Healing Center, Nemo the sea turtle will be released on Thursday, June 12, from Pelican Beach Park, 1525 Highway A1A in Satellite Beach! 🌊

This release will be held rain or shine, although we may delay or cancel the release if lightning is in the area. We plan to put Nemo in the water at 9:30 a.m. Be sure to give yourself time to find parking!

Say hello to our newest addition to our Rainforest Revealed loop! 🤩

Booker is an 11-month-old black howler monkey who has now joined howler monkey residents Raina and Reggie as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan for this endangered species. 🐒

You can tell Booker apart from our other female howler monkey, Raina, by remembering that Booker has darker, brown fur while Raina's fur is more blonde. Keep your eye out for the newcomer on your next Zoo visit!

Who's tiny, white and runs 10 miles in one night? Our Perdidio Key beach mice, of course! 🐭

These tiny mice are a part of an important conservation breeding program here at the Zoo, but their behind-the-scenes habitat means you may not know a lot about them. That's why two of our conservation team members, Alyssa and Kelly, sat down with us to talk all things beach mice on our latest podcast episode!

Tune in to this week's pod anywhere you get your podcasts. 🎧
