Yesterday, “Bilbo,” a subadult female green sea turtle, was returned to the wild after more than a year of rehabilitation at Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital. She is the 60th sea turtle returned to the wild since the Sea Turtle Hospital opening in June of 2022. Bilbo arrived at Zoo Miami on September 2nd of last year after suffering a severe boat strike that resulted in several broken bones, serious carapace damage, and limited movement in her rear flippers. During her time at Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital, diagnostics were performed to fully evaluate the damage from the boat strike, including radiographs, ultrasound, a CT scan, advanced bloodwork, and cultures. Her treatment plan over the year combined Western and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, including antibiotics, extensive wound care, electroacupuncture, aquapuncture, moxibustion, herbal medications, cold laser therapy, and supplements to support her immune system. In addition, Bilbo spent two weeks at the Florida Aquarium to assess her buoyancy issues and ensure that she could navigate through the water column with her limited rear flipper mobility. In preparation for release, she was given a land mobility test as well as a complete pre-release examination with lab work. She was also given a flipper tag and a transponder for tracking. She was released at Bill Baggs State Park with the assistance of Zoo Miami’s Animal Health Care team that included Animal Care Specialist, Julie Hyde, and Associate Zoo Veterinarians, Dr. Gaby Flacke and Dr. Marisa Bezjian. All work was done under Permit # MTP-25-274A. Green sea turtles are found in temperate and tropical oceans throughout the world. They are one of the largest of all sea turtles reaching a shell length of 3-4 feet and a weight close to 400 pounds. As adults, they feed primarily on algae and sea grasses. Their greatest threat is from commercial harvesting for their eggs and food. 📸: Ron Magill 2025-09-12 00:40:26 Yesterday, “.. 412 -25% 5 -52%
On Tuesday, “Cesar,” a 5-year-old African painted dog, was immobilized so that he could receive an examination to evaluate his fertility. Dr. Linda Penfold, from the South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation (SEZARC), partnered with the Zoo Miami Animal Health team, to collect sperm from Cesar via electro-ejaculation so that it could be examined under a microscope to determine his fertility. Fortunately, the exam revealed that Cesar is producing what appears to be healthy sperm in normal numbers. This result provides a positive foundation moving forward in Zoo Miami’s efforts to successfully reproduce this endangered species as he represents a new bloodline for Zoo Miami’s pack. While Cesar was immobilized, the Animal Health team also performed a series of other procedures including an ultrasound, blood collection, a dental exam, and urine collection and as part of an overall preventative medicine program. The dental exam revealed two broken teeth which were extracted. With less than 7,000 individuals left in the wild, the African painted dog is one of the most endangered carnivores on the continent. Found in isolated pockets of Eastern and Southern Africa, they occur in packs that can range from 6 to over 20 individuals. They are cooperative hunters which experience one of the highest success rates of any of the major carnivores. Only the alpha pair reproduce within the pack and the female can have as many as 20 puppies which are all raised cooperatively by the other pack members. As cooperative hunters, they can take down prey much larger than themselves such as wildebeests and other large antelope. Other prey species include warthogs and smaller antelope. The largest threats to the African painted dogs are being shot by landowners who consider them a threat to their livestock, fragmented habitat, and disease transmission such as rabies and distemper that is introduced by domestic dogs. Zoo Miami has provided tens of thousands of dollars in support of African painted dog conservation throughout Southern Africa. 📸: Ron Magill 2025-09-11 20:24:55 On Tuesday, “C.. 838 +52% 10 -5%

For the first time in Zoo Miami’s history, an Andean bear can now be seen by visitors. The 6-year-old female named Brienne, arrived at Zoo Miami on June 4th from the National Zoo in Washington D.C. Upon arrival, she was placed in a quarantine area for close observation and to ensure that she was adjusting well following the transport. Once she was cleared by the Animal Health department, she was transferred to what was previously the lowland gorilla enclosure which, after some modifications, will be her new home. For the past week, Brienne has been given access to the outdoor habitat that she has cautiously explored, gradually venturing out further each day. Her access to the habitat will be limited at first with expanded times as she becomes more comfortable with her new environment. Andean bears are sometimes called spectacled bears because of the light-colored rings that can develop around their eyes. These markings can vary greatly and some individuals, like Brienne, have very limited markings. Females are usually between 125-175 pounds. Males can grow to be significantly larger, sometimes exceeding 300 pounds. These unique bears are found in the Andean countries from Venezuela to Bolivia and are the only true bears found on the South American continent. Like most bears, Andean bears are omnivores, feeding on a wide variety of plants and animals with most of their food being fruits, palms, and bromeliads. They are one of the most arboreal of the world’s bears using their long claws to easily climb trees to eat the fruit and vegetation that they prefer. As fruit eaters, they are important seed dispersers in the wild habitats in which they live. The Andean bear is officially listed as “vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Its biggest threats are habitat loss and fragmentation followed by hunting for body parts and subsistence, as well as protection against attacks to livestock and crops. 📸: Ron Magill 2025-09-08 19:39:59 For the first .. 1,957 +255% 22 +110%

It is with profound sadness that Zoo Miami announces the passing of Kwame, the zoo’s last remaining lion. Like his brother, Jabari, who passed away in July, for the past few years Kwame has been treated for chronic arthritis, mostly in his upper spine, that limited his range of motion and level of comfort. Recently, he developed mobility issues that became progressively worse and despite a range of treatments aimed at providing pain relief and a good quality of life, he was displaying elevated levels of discomfort. Yesterday, after having extreme weakness in his hind quarters, he was immobilized so that a thorough exam, including radiographs, could be performed. With all treatment options exhausted and no other path available for a cure or relief, the very difficult decision was made by the Animal Health and Animal Science teams to euthanize him today. Kwame would have turned 18 years old tomorrow, substantially exceeding the normal lifespan of a male lion in the wild which rarely lives past the age of 12. Kwame arrived at Zoo Miami with his brother, Jabari, in November of 2008 from the Racine Zoo in Wisconsin. During his time at Zoo Miami, he and Jabari fathered several cubs and soon became some of the favorites of the millions of visitors to the zoo that saw them. Zoo Miami has made initial plans through the Lion Species Survival Plan (SSP) managed under the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to bring new lions to Zoo Miami soon. Those lions will form the foundation of a new pride that will follow the legacy of Kwame, Jabari, and the lions before them. Lions are classified as “threatened” in the wild where they live on less than 10% of their historic range. As part of its conservation commitment, Zoo Miami provides funding to Lion Landscapes, an organization working in Africa dedicated to protecting lions in the wild. In addition, it participates in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program designed to partner with local organizations working on the ground and communities with lions across Africa. 📸: Ron Magill 2025-09-05 22:43:44 It is with profo.. 2,557 +364% 112 +969%

A juvenile green sea turtle named, “Pumpkin Spice,” was returned to the wild Wednesday morning after receiving several months of critical care at Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital. The young female arrived at Zoo Miami on April 30th suffering from a fishhook entanglement around her right front flipper. Unfortunately, the injury caused by the entanglement led to a severe infection of the bone. Sadly, the infection required the amputation of the flipper to avoid a more systemic infection that could have been fatal. Pumpkin Spice made a remarkable recovery following the amputation and quickly adjusted to being able to successfully maneuver with three flippers. It is not uncommon for sea turtles in the wild to live normal lives with only three flippers as they are often the victim of shark attacks and other injuries that cause the loss of a flipper. For female turtles, the loss of a rear flipper is more severe because the rear flippers are necessary for the excavation of the nest prior to laying eggs. Not being able to excavate can lead to the turtle becoming eggbound which can lead to serious health complications, the inability to successfully reproduce, and in some cases being eggbound can be fatal. Having made a full recovery and demonstrating she was able to navigate her way through the water, the Animal Health Team coordinated with Bill Baggs State Park and the Miami-Dade Parks Sea Turtle Conservation Program, to successfully return Pumpkin Spice back to the wild. She was released just a few hundred yards form the iconic lighthouse at Bill Baggs State Park. Green sea turtles are found throughout the world, nesting in over 80 countries. Though protected, they are still the victims of illegal hunting for meat and the collection of eggs for consumption. They are unique in that they are primarily herbivores feeding mostly on sea grass and algae. Since its opening in June of 2022, Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital has received over 150 different individual sea turtles representing five different species. Of those admitted, 59 have been successfully returned to the wild thanks to the critical care provided by Zoo Miami’s Animal Health team. 📸: Ron Magill 2025-09-04 19:40:37 A juvenile g.. 671 +22% 10 -5%

Zoo Miami welcomed a new meerkat on August 19th! “Clementine,” is a seven-year-old female that was born at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado and arrived at Zoo Miami via the Great Plains Zoo in South Dakota. She joins males, “Yuca” and “Joe” on the meerkat habitat where they can now be seen both in person and via the web on Zoo Miami’s “Meerkat Cam.” She was introduced for the first time yesterday to the habitat with Yuca and Joe and enjoyed digging and exploring while searching for and feeding on crickets that zookeepers had dispersed throughout the enclosure. Clementine can be easily distinguished from Yuca and Joe by her much shorter stubby tail. Meerkats are a common omnivore from the mongoose family that are found in arid environments of Southern Africa. Made famous by the Disney character, “Timon,” from The Lion King, meerkats are an extremely popular animal, especially with children. Known for their habit of having a sentinel standing on its hind legs looking out for potential danger from predators such as snakes, birds of prey and jackals, these very gregarious animals feed on a wide variety of invertebrates, as well as lizards, small mammals, eggs and fruits. Groups can number as many as 50 individuals and are known as a mob. They are exceptional excavators and will construct a series of tunnels to escape predators as well as the heat of the desert sun. Come visit the Meerkat exhibit within the Critter Connection at Zoo Miami and welcome Clementine to her new home! 📸: Ron Magill 2025-08-29 20:12:06 .. 703 +27% 4 -62%
