This past Saturday on April 24th, The Zoological Wildlife Foundation was part of an Earth Day Festival at the Pinecrest Gardens. ZWF did a presentation with the animals every hour on the hour, and it was a great success! We had nothing but positive feedback about our presentation. The bleachers filled almost every time and we put a smile on many peoples faces while we walked around with our animals and let everyone touch almost all of the animals we had for the presentation. Overall, it was a wonderful event that had a great turn out! ZWF would like to thank Pinecrest Gardens for letting us be part of such a wonderful event.

Join us at Miami Subs Grill yet again, for a great time with our wildlife! We will have a petting zoo for small children, t-shirts and other items for sale, and many of our animals will be attending this special event! If you’ve been to our passed Miami Subs events, then you know this will be another great one as well! Don’t miss this! Check the flyer for additional details.

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation will be involved in an Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 25, 2010 at Pinecrest Gardens from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ZWF will be having an hourly presentation with many of our animals! We will also be doing photo sessions with our animals as well. You definitely don’t want to miss this, so come by the festival and celebrate Earth Day!

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation recently had another event with Miami Subs Grill to raise money for a new Tiger Habitat. This event went extremely well and we managed to raise a lot of money to go towards the construction of a new tiger habitat. We sold ZWF T-Shirts, had photo sessions with a variety of different animals, and accepted contributions, all for the cause. If you missed out on this event, don’t worry! ZWF and Miami Subs Grill will be having another event soon, so come check back regularly to see when we post up our next event!

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! Click here to see our gallery of Derby, or to learn more info about Bennett’s Wallabies, then click over here!

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.
