We are extremely honored to have played an important role in a significant conservation milestone. Sdudla, a male African savanna elephant, has successfully relocated from ZooTampa to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, traveling 2,500 miles across eight states.

The relocation was meticulously planned over several months by our teams which included daily dedicated sessions to prepare Sdudla for voluntary participation in his transport. He was accompanied by animal care and veterinary professionals from both organizations for the journey from the east to the west coast.

Upon arrival, Sdudla quickly acclimated, engaging with the park's elephant herd, notably bonding with 7-year-old Zuli. From afar, we will be checking on Sdudla’s social development while he continues to learn and grow.

This move is part of the The Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan, aiming to bolster the endangered African savanna elephant population. The successful transfer underscores the collaborative efforts of accredited zoos in conservation initiatives. Sdudla's presence at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, will help support critical conservation efforts for this amazing species

Everyone on the blue planet relies on our oceans, one way or another!

This World Ocean Day, we want you to show some love for the sea and each creature that relies on it. Animals like African Penguins play an essential role in their ecosystem, fishing off the coasts of South Africa.

We are proud to support SANCCOB, an organization that has treated tens of thousands of oiled, ill, injured, or abandoned African penguins in addition to other seabirds in need.

There are ways to look out for ocean life in your day-to-day, too! Keep an eye out for animals in need, shop for sustainable fish, and clean up after yourself!

Hooved mammals, today is your day! International Ungulate day celebrates the diversity of ungulates around the world. 🌎️

Ungulates and humans go hand in hoof, in a way. Many of the domestic species we have come to rely on, like goats, llamas, cows, and horses are all hooved animals (aka ungulates). At ZooTampa, we are home to some of these star-studded ungulates who reside in the Australian barnyard, acting as ambassadors for their respective species. 🐐

Brightening up your feed this Friday morning with Seth, the Red Fox! 🦊⁠
⁠
Of the two Red Foxes that arrive to ZooTampa this past fall, Seth is the more shy of the duo by far. The Florida Animal Care Team has been working closely with the foxes to build up their confidence, encouraging Seth to explore his habitat and gain trust with his caretakers.

Big news! 🐾

We are proud to share that ZooTampa recently received re-accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). We are one of only two Zoos in the country and the only one in Florida to be accredited by AAHA.

Achieving AAHA accreditation, requires dedication, superior team communication and leadership, and a passion for continually providing excellent medical care to the more than 1600 animals that live at ZooTampa.

Congratulations to the entire team that worked incredibly hard to make this possible!

Ssssso you want to learn more about snakes? 🐍

If you're exploring our new Reptile and Amphibian Discovery, you will find many amazing Florida native species and special guests from around the world to learn about! Some of the snakes share what's called a mixed-species habitat, meaning that multiple compatible species share the space! These habitats tell a unique story about our environment and the different ways that snakes interact with their space, while some snakes can be arboreal (tree-dwelling) like the yellow rat snake, others may prefer to stay towards the ground.
