Happy International Gibbon Day! Although you won't see gibbons on habitat at Zoo Miami, we support their conservation through SAFE Gibbon, which works to restore habitats, monitor wild populations, support rescue centers, and combat wildlife trafficking. 🧡 📷Janelle Budell

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'll be conducting a safety drill between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm. The chimpanzee will be off habitat and the walkway will be temporarily closed in this area. These drills are conducted regularly as part of our safety protocols to help keep our guests, staff, and animals safe.

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

Happy World Okapi Day! 🤎 Nafuna and Chimbuko have big personalities, especially when food is involved! With only ~10,000 okapis left in the wild of the DRC, Zoo Miami supports conservation efforts to protect these elusive “ghosts of the forest” and their rainforest home. 🌿
