Happy International Jaguar Day! Let’s get to know our jaguar ambassadors, Filly and Frankie:
🐾 Filly is our female and came to use from the @belizezoo zoo this past January.
🐾 Our male jaguar, Frankie, is the son of Pat, who arrived from the Belize Zoo in 2008 and was part of the Human Jaguar Conflict Program as well. Pairing Filly with Frankie has the potential to provide the population with new genes and increase the genetic diversity of the North American jaguar population.

Together with the @zoosocietymke and the Belize Zoo, we drive conservation efforts in Belize with the Pat Gives Back program, named for Pat the Great Cat. Learn more: https://mkezoo.com/PatGivesBack

Happy Thanksgiving! Stitch has a special message to show how thankful we are to our guests who have visited and supported us this year! Without your support, the Zoo would not be able to advance our mission to inspire people to conserve wildlife and wild places.

We hope you enjoy your time with family and friends. We are closed today and back open tomorrow (11/28) for regular hours from 9:30am-2:30pm and for Wild Lights from 5:30pm-9pm.
