Cacatua is a recent addition to our family here at ZWF. He is a lesser sulfur crested cockatoo, and he really loves to speak his mind! Right now he says some words in Spanish and English, but we are working with him to learn more new words and sounds. Everyone already adores Cacatua at the foundation. If you would like to see Cacatua up close then come by for a tour at our facility! It’s an experience you won’t forget. Check out Cacatua the Lesser Sulfur Crested Cockatoo and his buddy “Citrus” the Citron Cockatoo’s gallery.

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation would like to welcome our newest addition! Our little wallaby joey “Derby”. This little guy truly is special and unique. Not only is he a wallaby, but he’s albino too! What a beautiful little miracle! He’s fitting in just wonderfully here at the Foundation, and he’ll be jumping around and boxing in no time!

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation is teaming up with Miami Subs Grill once again! This time we are having a fundraiser for the purpose of building a much needed new tiger habitat. With your help we can make this happen! Stop by Miami Subs and see our wildlife. We will have our Liger cubs and Tiger cub at the event! Every animal at our facility is important and special to us, and we would like to give them the best life possible. See the flyer below for additional details!

If you guessed the Lesser Anteater or Tamandua then you are correct!

Tamanduas are found in Mexico, Central America, and South America. They make their homes in tropical rain forests and savannas. If the tamandua is threatened, it will release a foul odor from a gland at the base of its tail similar to a skunks. These guys eat about 9,000 ants in just one day! Mom and baby Tamandua are doing just great here, they truly are beautiful creatures! To see more photos of the Tamanduas, click here to visit our gallery, or if you would like to learn more information about Tamanduas click here for our info page.

We are constantly busy, and get overwhelmed with the care of the animals here at The Zoological Wildlife Foundation, and for that reason, we are always in need of supplies, food, appliances, cages, etc. So, we wrote down a wishlist of things that are desperately needed here at ZWF! The animals depend on us, it’s our job to provide them with the best care possible, and your contributions make it happen.
