Did you know Grizzly 399 has given birth to 18 cubs throughout her lifetime? Despite her high number of offspring, not all of them have been able to survive to maturity. Only eight of 399’s cubs have reached adulthood. Currently, she’s raising one yearling cub who’s learning essential survival skills and is beginning to explore its environment more independently.

One of the tiniest primates in the world, a Pygmy Marmoset is about the same weight as a stick of butter 🧈

Found in rainforests of South America, these monkeys live in families, or “troops” of up to nine individuals, and mating pairs stay together for life.

Despite their striking differences, hippos and whales are each other's closest living relatives. DNA segments found in these magnificent creatures reveal that they share a common ancestor that roamed the Earth around 55 million years ago. Family ties run deep in the animal kingdom.

Helping cold-stunned sea turtles

Our staff have been working diligently with FWC-authorized partners to respond to sea turtles affected by our recent low water and air temperatures in St. Joseph Bay in Gulf County, with the team and our officers in the region rescuing a total of 66 cold-stunned green turtles.

When water temps drop to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or below, sea turtles may become cold-stunned, where they become weak and unable to swim. Cold-stunned sea turtles may float listlessly in the water on or near shore. Although these turtles may appear to be dead, they are often still alive.

If you see injured, distressed or dead sea turtles, please report it to our Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922).

Seeing a LOT of these near where I'm pet sitting this week on the east coast of Florida! Yesterday there seemed to be one under each parked car where I stopped for produce and herbs, declaring its territory. My guardian finally abandoned his post & moved to another car so I could leave without dreading hurting him💕
