We're throwing it back to when Remy and Rory were tiny cubs! 🐆✨ Because some throwbacks are too good to miss.

These cougar sisters have been melting hearts since 2015. As they've grown, they've traded their spots for solid coats, as all cougars do. Now around 11 years old, they've each got their own vibe: Remy spends time in the shade with daily enrichment and therapy, while Rory rules the habitats and loves knocking her rock-filled metal can around like a toy. 💚

Come meet them this summer! 🎟️ https://tallahasseemuseum.org/visit/

School's OUT! 📚✨

Which means it's officially time to trade the classroom for the canopy. Bring your crew to our Tree-to-Tree Adventures and let them soar above the trees, feel the summer breeze, and discover nature from a totally new perspective.

Our ziplining courses are designed for adventurers of all ages and skill levels. Whether they're thrill-seekers or nature explorers (or both), T2T is the summer experience they'll be talking about all year long.

40 days in and Rue's pups are thriving! 🐺💚

See some clips of their early weeks and watch mama howl for her 4 little ones and watch them crawl all over her in these sweet moments from our den camera. This is family bonding at its finest, and it's exactly what conservation looks like in real time.

Each healthy pup represents hope for a species with fewer than 300 remaining in the world. Our team continues to monitor the family closely, ensuring they develop the natural behaviors they'll need for potential future release into the wild.

The pups will make their public debut later this summer. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us! 🐺✨

Checking in on the binturongs this week and they're thriving! 🍿 Still haven't made it over to see these incredible guests? This is your moment. They're sticking around for just a few more weeks before heading out.

Did you know they smell like buttered popcorn? Or that they're one of only two carnivores with a prehensile tail? These rare Southeast Asian mammals are absolutely incredible, and you've gotta experience them in person. 🌳✨

🎖️ FREE Admission for Active-Duty Military & Their Families! We’re proud to participate in our 14th year as part of the program, offering free summer admission to active-duty military personnel, including National Guard and Reserve members.

👉 Share this with someone who would benefit from this program!

This initiative runs from Armed Forces Day (May 16) through Labor Day (September 7) and honors those who serve by making cultural experiences more accessible all summer long.

We thank you for your service—and we can’t wait to welcome you to the !

🦅

From Our Collections: This powerful artifact from World War II was displayed by families with loved ones serving in the Armed Forces. Each blue star represents one family member in active duty.

This banner is a quiet but profound symbol of service, sacrifice, and support on the home front.

⭐ We preserve pieces like this because they remind us that history isn't just dates and events — it's personal. It's families. It's Tallahassee.

Meet our girls. 🐊 Did you know all of our resident alligators are female? And don't let that fool you — they have plenty to say. 💬

American alligators bellow, grunt, hiss, and rumble. 🔊 During breeding season, males let out infrasonic vibrations that make the water literally dance around them. But females vocalize too, communicating with each other and calling to their young with low, guttural sounds that carry across the water. 💧

Our girls were born in captivity, which means the wild isn't a safe option for them. Without the survival instincts developed in nature (like hunting, territory, navigation), releasing a captive-raised gator can put both the animal and the ecosystem at risk. So they live here, as permanent residents and pretty incredible ambassadors for their species. 🌟

Come listen to their bellows up close as the girls celebrate SPRING! 🌱✨

We're thrilled to see the birth of Rue and Ace's four red wolf puppies featured in the Tallahassee Democrat. With fewer than 300 red wolves remaining in the world, every new litter represents the love and effort that goes into supporting this critically endangered species. 💚🐺

Our team, alongside the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and 52 partner facilities, is committed to bringing red wolves back from the brink of extinction. From Dr. Cassandra Manuel's expert veterinary care to our very own animal care team's dedication to preserving the wolves' natural wariness of humans, every step of this process matters.

The pups will make their public debut later this summer. Until then, stay connected for updates on our website and social media!

Thank you for the coverage and for caring about preserving our wild regional culture. 🐺✨
