Zoo Miami

Zoo Miami One of the biggest, one of the most unique and, definitely, one of the best zoos in the world.

Zoo Miami (also known as The Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens) is the largest and oldest zoological garden in Florida, and the only tropical zoo in the continental United States. The unique climate in South Florida allows us to keep a wide variety of animals from Asia, Australia and Africa, representing a broad mix of species that is unlike any other zoo in the country. Our animals are group

ed according to their geographic territories, with species that live together peacefully in the wild placed in exhibits together here at the zoo. Our trees, foliage and even our soil are matched as closely as possible to the native habitats of our animals.

🦎 A Texas-sized milestone for conservation!
This week, Zoo Miami staff joined our partners at San Antonio Zoo to release 28 Texas horned lizards—affectionately known as “horny toads”—back into their native habitat. Of the lizards released, five were born right here at Zoo Miami as part of our ongoing collaboration to restore this iconic species to the wild.

This incredible mission was made possible thanks to the support of the Zoo Miami Foundation and our amazing partners at Delta Airlines for helping our team get to Texas and back safely. 🧡

Today, our veterinary team led by Dr. Gwen Myers performed a remarkable rescue surgery on an 8-foot female crocodile found with a spear lodged in her skull. Dr. Myers successfully removed the spear, and the animal is now stable and recovering. Sadly, X-rays also revealed a bullet in her head. A criminal investigation is now underway by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). 💚🐊

We’re grateful for the media coverage by WSVN 7, WPLG Local 10, and CBS 4 helping raise awareness about this tragic act and the importance of wildlife protection.

Listen closely… 👂 That’s the sound of an okapi enjoying pumpkin enrichment! With a tongue up to 18 inches long, these “forest giraffes” can even clean their own ears and eyelids! 👅

As an endangered species, okapi rely on global conservation efforts to help protect them in the wild. Events like ZooRun and programs supported by the Zoo Miami Wildlife Conservation Fund help raise awareness and funds for wildlife conservation.
