The Brandywine Zoo Brings The Animal Kingdom To Wilmington
The Brandywine Zoo is a magical small zoo in Wilmington, Delaware. Animal residents include giant anteater, lemurs, red pandas, binturong, Andean condor, golden lion tamarins, saki monkeys, radiated tortoises, sloth, birds, bobcat, caracal, snakes, and others. The Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, a distinction that marks its commitment to providing excellent care for animals, and a great experience for the visitor. 😁
Brandywine Zoo is open most days from 10am to 4pm (last admission at 3:30pm). Check www.brandywinezoo.org for many programs and special events for both kids and adults alike. The zoo especially appeals to children under 12 years, as activities are geared to them, and the layout of the zoo encourages learn-and-play and animal observations.
When you become a member of the Delaware Zoological Society, you become a member of the Brandywine Zoo. The Delaware Zoological Society is the non-profit fundraising membership organization that supports the mission of the Brandywine Zoo. Both are located at 1001 North Park Drive, Wilmington, Delaware, 19802, USA. www.brandywinezoo.org
The Brandywine Zoo is managed by the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation with the support of the Delaware Zoological Society.
Keeper Week
As we head into Keeper Week we wanted to send out a special thank you to all the Brandywine Zoo Keepers for all their dedication and hard work! 🫶🙏
Our keepers have a slew of very important responsibilities at the zoo including daily keeper husbandry, medical observations, groundskeeping, managing extreme weather, training, enrichment, performing veterinary procedures and so much more!
We truly appreciate each and every one of you! 💚

Millipede
This African giant black millipede is many things, but it is NOT an insect. 😳
Belonging to the group arthropods, it's related to shrimp and crabs. 🦀 These crawlers are decomposers, a very important type of animal that breaks down organic material like decaying plants and dead animals. Without them, all that stuff would build up and create quite an unpleasant situation.
These big millies can reach a foot long and be as thick around as your thumb! Contrary to popular belief, they don't have 1,000 legs. It's more like 60-80. Imagine what that feels like on your hands! #InsectWeek #millipede
