Stepping into the Wild side of The Belize Zoo

The adventure begins at ‘Tapir Town,’ home to the Baird’s Tapir, Belize’s national animal affectionately known as the ‘Mountain Cow.’ With their endearing snouts and formidable bodies, these captivating creatures are guaranteed to steal your heart. This encounter will immerse you in the fascinating world of the Tapir, highlighting not only their unique biology but also their cultural significance and conservation needs.

The excitement amplifies as we delve deeper into the heart of the wild at the ‘Panther Prowl.’ The enclosure houses an awe-inspiring array of big cats – the elusive jaguars, graceful ocelots, lithe margays, curious jaguarundis, and majestic pumas. Witnessing these felines in action is an electrifying spectacle as they display their natural agility and prowess in habitats designed to mimic their wild homes.

As you navigate the terrain, the ‘Birds of Belize’ exhibit emerges, a symphony of color and sound. Immerse yourself in the melody of bird calls as Scarlet Macaws, Keel-Billed Toucans, Harpy Eagles, and many more flaunt their plumage and strut about in their habitats.

Each enclosure is designed to mirror natural habitats, offering the animals a comfortable and fulfilling life.

Beyond its mission of education and delight, the Belize Zoo is deeply committed to wildlife conservation. As you journey through the zoo, you will learn about the significant role each animal plays in the ecosystem and the current threats they face.
