Partnerships, our community.

New arrival alert‼️⁠ On Sunday evening, our little siamang family welcomed a new baby into the world! As an endangered species, every birth is extremely important as a sign of hope for these animals. 💕⁠ ⁠ The little siamang, who joins sister Kazuki (3), is clinging to mom, Hutan, tightly and has been observed nursing. 🍼 The baby`s father, Sensei, and Kazuki have been showing interest in the baby, too. It will be few weeks before the sex of the baby is known, but we are happy to announce that both mom and baby are doing well. ❤️⁠ ⁠ 👀 Visitors may get the chance to witness this brand new baby at our siamang habitat! 🔍️ Look closely, during this period of time, the baby will continue to cling tightly to Hutan while it continues to grow and gain confidence. ⁠

🎊Be merry for Manatee Appreciation Month! 🎉⁠ ⁠ At ZooTampa, we work 24/7 to save the Florida manatee by rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned calves, like Biscayne here, 🍼 and injured individuals. Manatees often come to ZooTampa for a variety of reasons, but one issue that we constantly face are boat strikes. 🛥️⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Luckily, you can play a direct role in reducing the amount of injured manatees by advocating for safe boating practices, like following no-wake zones and staying aware of the animals below the surface. 🕶️⁠ ⁠ Do you plan to take a role in manatee safety this month? Tell us how!⁠ 💻️⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Manatee photos and video taken by ZooTampa under USFWS Permit No. MA90101C

Wishing you a bear-y happy Halloween! 🎃⁠ ⁠ If you`re an American Black Bear, like Newberry, pumpkins are quite the commodity! 🐻 In fact, these bears will even seek out decorative porch pumpkins to fuel their fall food binge as they prepare for winter. ❄️⁠ ⁠ This Halloween, be aware of wildlife while you appreciate the gourd-geous carvings around your neighborhood! Have a happy and safe holiday! 👻

African Elephants take on festive favorites, like pumpkins! 🎃⁠ ⁠ Over the years, it`s become no secret that elephants enjoy eating these seasonal gourds.🐘 Pumpkins provide a great opportunity for physical and mental stimulation. Even though it seems like our elephants eat these treats with ease, they get to practice crushing the pumpkins and lifting them with their trunks! 💪

Orange you glad you match your food?🎃⁠ ⁠ 🧡 Red River Hogs are named for their impressive fur color as the most vibrant member of the pig family. While called red, their coat looks as orange as their recent pumpkin treat! 😋⁠ ⁠ 🍁 This fall, many of our animals have received these gourds as a festive form of fall enrichment.🐗 As hogs, Amy and Maverick are excellent at rooting around for food and breaking gourds open to expose the delicious seeds and pumpkin guts. 🎃

It may be Fall in Florida, but that doesn`t meant that the temperature is going to cooperate. 🍁⁠ ⁠ Maverick is one half of our pair of resident Red River Hogs at the Zoo.🐗 By spending time in his marvelously muddy wallow, he can beat the heat and the bugs! 🦟⁠ ⁠ Can you guess how this species got its name? Our hunch is that it has something to do with their fur color and affinity for water! 👀⁠

Even if you`re have a slooooow start to your Sunday, you still have time to visit the Zoo! ☀️⁠ 🫶 Your trips to ZooTampa are a BIG deal to our animals, including our Giant Tortoises.🐢 Our conservation work and continual improvement is positively affected by your support. So, we want to extend our thanks and encourage you to enjoy a tort-ally terrific day at the ZooTampa! ⁠

We want to wish a bear-y happy birthday to Kacey, our Malayan Sun Bear!🎂⁠ ⁠ This past Thursday, we celebrated Kacey`s 23rd trip around the sun with plenty of treats, toys, and friends - who cheering him on from his habitat overlook. 🥳 Malayan Sun Bears can live as long at 25-28 years, so Kacey is older for his species. We are incredibly grateful to care for Kacey through his golden years with all of the admiration a bear could need! ❤️ Happy Birthday, buddy! 🎉

Can you hear that? 👂 It’s World Lemur Day and we want to take the opportunity to talk about Ring-Tailed Lemur communication! 🔊 In this video, two of our lemurs are “clicking” which is that quite almost thump-like sound thay you can hear here. 👀 Clicking is a low-stress form of communication that draws attention to the lemur. Can you guess why these two are calling for attention?

It`s National Wolf Awareness Week and we want to celebrate with our Red Wolf pack! 🐺⁠ ⁠ In the past, Red Wolves ranged from Texas to New York, but now only inhabit a portion of Eastern North Carolina. 🌎️ With an estimated 17-19 individuals in the wild, it`s essential that we work together to raise awareness for and protect this species. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑⁠ ⁠ You can play a direct role in helping this species by supporting organizations that work to conserve them (like us!) and by being mindful of wildlife while driving. 🚗

She`s blue! 💙⁠ ⁠ Tuxi, our resident juvenile African Penguin, is sporting the blueish-grey color associated with her age. Can you compare her plumage to that of the adult penguins in the second picture? 🐧⁠ Tuxi`s feathers should darken to the classic black and white colors of an adult African Penguin by the time she is three years old. For now, she`s incredibly easy to pick out in our penguin colony!

Zsa-Zsa ate... her diet 💅⁠ ⁠ The animals at ZooTampa each have their own, well-rounded diet prepared daily by our nutrition team!🧑‍🍳Our Pygmy Hippos eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, roughage (hay), grains, and more. 🥬 These hippos are herbivores, meaning they rely on plant material for their food, which means a good mix of greens and more is essential for their health. 🥕
