Sloth Receives Wellness Exam!

On July 26, “Flan,” a three-year-old Linne's two-toed sloth, received a wellness exam as part of Zoo Miami’s preventative health program. In addition to an overall assessment of body condition, including an eye and dental exam, he received vaccinations, X-rays, an ultrasound exam and blood collection. The procedure was directed by Zoo Miami Associate Veterinarian, Dr. Rodney Schnellbacher, assisted by members of the Animal Health and Animal Science teams. Initial assessments indicate that Flan is in good health and he has since been returned to his habitat to quietly recover from the sedation that was administered for the exam!

One of the in-situ conservation projects managed through Zoo Miami’s Conservation and Research Department is the Gopher Tortoise Ecology Program, led by conservation biologist, Dr. Steven Whitfield. On July 23, Dr. Whitfield joined personnel from the Miami-Dade County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL), Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC), and our own Animal Health Team, to release two tortoises that had been successfully rehabilitated at Zoo Miami! The individuals were marked and fitted with transmitters so that they could be monitored in the future and hopefully provide more valuable information about this unique native species.
We are proud to unveil Zoo Miami Foundation’s Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Report here, featuring our beloved tiger, N’dari. Take a walk down memory lane as we revisit 65 years guided by a passion for wildlife. We hope you’ll find uplifting stories and reminders of what we have achieved together. At its heart, we make a difference in the lives of our animal residents, produce a robust education program, and support local and global conservation—and this is all made possible thanks to your generosity.
