Happy World Orangutan Day!🦧
Orangutans are native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, encompassing Indonesia and Malaysia. The term orangutan which means "person of the forest," accurately describes these remarkable creatures as the largest arboreal mammals on Earth. However, due to habitat loss from logging, mining and agricultural activities, orangutans are now classified as an endangered species. At the Gulf Breeze Zoo, we are dedicated to supporting the conservation efforts for these majestic animals.

The Gulf Breeze Zoo, Alabama Safari Park, Texas Zoofari Park and Virginia Safari Park are proud to be a part of Zoofari Parks and support organizations like Zoo Disaster Response, Rescue, and Recovery - ZDR3 USA. This support is made possible through your guest visits!
Thank you to Zoofari Parks for being among our most steadfast supporters!
In addition to being a Tier 1 Sponsor, Zoofari made a generous contribution toward the ZDR3 Network’s response after Hurricane Ian in 2022. But Zoofari is more than a top level contributor to ZDR3: their four parks have committed to providing support during disaster responses. That means potential resource caches and teams in Virginia, Florida, Alabama, and Texas!
"Zoofari Parks and its living museums, Virginia Safari Park - Virginia's Only Drive-Thru Safari Adventure, Gulf Breeze Zoo, Alabama Safari Park - Alabama's Only Drive-Thru Safari Adventure, and Texas Zoofari Park, are honored to be a member of ZDR3,” says CEO/President Eric Mogensen. “In addition, Zoofari Parks is proud to support ZDR3 in its commitment to assist zoological facilities during times of disaster and through ZDR3 be able to help other zoological professionals and their animals during a crisis."
Sponsors dedicated to our cause make it possible for ZDR3 to carry out the mission of providing aid to zoological facilities, aquariums, and sanctuaries prior to, during, and following disasters and crises.
We are Stronger Together
