Marvin, the #beardeddragon, stole the spotlight on @thejimcolbertshow at @realradio1041. We had a great time talking about what enrichment is, getting involved at the Zoo, and upcoming events! #CentralFloridaZoo #Sanford #LoveFL #WeAreAZA

Hey @arbys! You’re not the only ones with The Meats. Here at the Zoo, animals receive individualized diets to keep them healthy. Our carnivores receive a variety of meats, which our zookeepers often hide in different locations throughout their habitat to promote their natural hunting behaviors. 🥩🍖 #CentralFloridaZoo #Sanford #LoveFL #WeAreAZA #enrichment

Crazy about cats? We've spotted one making his modeling debut for Wild Art & Wine next Tuesday, June 11! We'll visit his habitat to hear an exclusive Keeper Chat followed by hors d'ouvres, wine, up-close animal encounters with some of our Animal Ambassadors, and painting this special cat! 🐆🎨🍷 #CentralFloridaZoo #Sanford #LoveFL #WeAreAZA #art

That feeling when you’re trying to call-in dinner delivery and your Zookeeper just isn’t picking up. (Don’t worry—our cotton top tamarins and all other animals are fed daily right on time!) 📞🍽 #CentralFloridaZoo #Sanford #LoveFL #WeAreAZA #CottonTops

Alligators can be found in a wide variety of habitats so it’s important to be aware of your surroundings and understand how to peacefully enjoy recreational activities in Florida’s water while keeping yourself and alligators safe! Join us this Saturday, June 1, for our Alligator Awareness Presentation to learn more about this iconic species, meet one up-close, and possibly get the chance to help our expert feed one!

Tasty Tuesday for Buster! Anyone else have a favorite afternoon snack? 🐟 #CentralFloridaZoo #Sanford #LoveFL #WeAreAZA #otter #snack #tastytuesday

A silly celebration is bound to happen when one of your favorite animals turns the same age as you! Ara, our green winged macaw Animal Ambassador, celebrated her 19th birthday this week—the same age as our youngest Zookeeper, Kaeli! Kaeli began volunteering at the Zoo when she was 13 years old and was eventually hired as a Bird & Animal Ambassador Zookeeper. We love the love she has for our Zoo and the long-term bond she’s formed with so many of our animals—including Ara! ❤️💚 #CentralFloridaZoo #Sanford #LoveFL #WeAreAZA #HappyBirthday #zookeeper
