EPISODE 103

We've gone through attractions with the focus all on local wildlife, but we've never seen anything like this before. Featuring the animals of America's backwoods is one thing, but when it comes to Florida, that's a whole other level. From the forests, to the swamps, and to the coasts, this exhibit perfectly reflects the Sunshine State's unmatched biodiversity. On this very extensive tour, you'll learn all about ZooTampa's Manatee, Otter, and raptor rescue and rehabilitation efforts. I introduce you to a variety of the Florida Wildlife Center's 85 animals - many of which we may never see again. Like a litter of seven Striped Skunks, red wolves, the Florida black bear, and the disappearing Florida panther. Enjoy!
