It's National Reptile Awareness Day!

Today is dedicated to promoting education, conservation, and appreciation for the often misunderstood reptiles, which are vital parts of many ecosystems - but especially ours here in South Florida!

Why are reptiles so important?
🐍Snakes act as natural pest control, reducing rodent populations which destroy crops and sometimes carry diseases that can infect people
🐢Turtles and tortoises are keystone species that support healthy ecosystems through their roles as habitat creators and vegetation managers
🐊Alligators are our "ecological engineers" that maintain wetland habitats, control other animal populations as an apex predator, and support biodiversity

Learn more about Florida's native reptile species at our weekly "Reptiles Rule!" education program every Friday at 12:30 p.m.

A soup can stuck on a raccoon’s head may seem like a simple problem, but situations like this require careful handling, veterinary care, and monitoring to ensure a safe outcome! 🦝

Our team safely sedated the raccoon, removed the can, and performed an examination to check for injuries -- which thankfully, there were none.

After recovering well from sedation, the raccoon was eating, drinking, and behaving normally. The raccoon stayed overnight for observation but was able to quickly be returned to the wild where it belongs💚

October 8 is National DAF Day! 🦉

Did you know there’s a simple and meaningful way to make a charitable gift to Busch Wildlife Sanctuary through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

A DAF is a charitable giving account that allows you to contribute assets to a sponsoring charitable organization and then recommend grants to nonprofits you care about, like Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. It gives donors flexibility in how and when they support their favorite causes.

For Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, DAF gifts help provide critical support for wildlife rehabilitation, animal care, conservation, education, and the continued growth of our Sanctuary. Every gift helps us give Florida’s native wildlife a second chance and protect the natural world for generations to come. 🐾🌿

If you have a DAF, consider recommending a grant to Busch Wildlife Sanctuary this National DAF Day and help make a lasting difference for wildlife.

Want to learn more about giving through a DAF? Contact Lisa Wynne at [email protected].

Hay animales que hoy están a salvo porque alguien decidió ayudarlos. 🌿

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary está en Jupiter, Florida, entre Miami y Orlando: una parada que puedes incluir si viajas entre ambas ciudades. Es una organización sin fines de lucro que rescata y rehabilita animales silvestres heridos, enfermos o huérfanos.

Su objetivo es devolverlos a la naturaleza cuando están preparados para sobrevivir por sí mismos. Para los residentes que no pueden regresar, el santuario ofrece un hogar con atención, alimentación y protección.

Si a tu hijo le apasionan los animales, este es un lugar para recorrer en familia, conocer la fauna de Florida y aprender a respetarla. Porque esa curiosidad por la naturaleza puede convertirse en el deseo de cuidarla. 💚

La entrada es por donación. Tu aporte ayuda a sostener los cuidados, los tratamientos y la labor educativa del santuario. Detrás de esta misión hay un equipo y una comunidad que la hacen posible.

Gracias a Casey [] por guiarnos en español y compartir las historias y los secretos de este santuario.
Gracias por todo tu apoyo y colaboración para que pudiéramos mostrar esta labor a nuestra comunidad. 💚

Baby squirrel season is in full swing at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary🐿️🍼

In September alone, we admitted 72 eastern gray squirrels & 5 southern flying squirrels to our wildlife rehabilitation center.

Many of these patients arrive after being found orphaned, domestic pet interactions, or tree trimming incidents.

If you’ve found a baby squirrel, before intervening, we encourage you to call your local wildlife rehabilitation center — in some cases, a successful renesting is possible!

You can help us care for these little patients by donating to our mission today! 💚
