Check out what you missed at ZWF’s event this past Saturday!

Monday, April 19th, 2010


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! If you would like to check out some of our photos from this event, click to see our gallery here.

ZWF welcomes “Cacatua” our new addition!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

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.

Extra Space Storage Grand Opening Event was a Success!

Check out this great slideshow from our Extra Space Storage Grand Opening Event!

What has a 16-inch-long sticky tongue, prehensile tail, and an unpleasant odor?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

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.
