How do you think you would do? 👀
Can you vet tech? We asked non-vet techs at Zoo Miami if they could accurately pull 1 mL of fluid without looking. 👀 Let’s just say we’ll leave the vet tech stuff to our vet techs… #VetTechAppreciationWeek
They get to experience it all!
While our vet techs spend time in the lab, their work also takes them out to the habitats alongside our animals and their care teams. Recently, vet tech Nolan worked with Ariel & her team to practice venipuncture simulation with our great one-horned rhino! 🦏 #VetTechWeek

We love seeing the community come together like this!
One Tournament. Thousands of Lionfish. A big impact on the Pensacola Coast. 🐟🌊
The inaugural FWC Pensacola Lionfish Invitational & Festival was a HUGE success, with 71 registered participants an incredible 6,006 invasive lionfish were removed from the waters of Escambia County.
🌊🎉 Several hundred people joined us throughout the weekend, bringing the community together for conservation, and a whole lot of lionfish eating and education.
But removing lionfish is about more than winning a tournament. Lionfish are an invasive species that can put pressure on native marine life by competing for food and habitat. Every lionfish removed means one less invasive predator impacting our native fish and reef ecosystems. That’s why events like this matter - they turn conservation into community action. 💚
Funds were raised through this tournament that support the efforts of the Fish and Wildlife Foundation of Florida. A huge THANK YOU to every participant, volunteer, sponsor, and partner who helped make this event possible. Here’s to an even bigger impact next year! 💪
