It's finally time to #NameThatTiger! On November 5, 2023, we welcomed three critically endangered Malayan tiger cubs, one boy and two girls. Two of the cubs have been named by generous donors, but one of the female cubs, whose leg was previously injured, is still in need of a name! From January 17-31, you are invited to vote for your favorite name for a $5 donation (Note: A donation submission is required to vote and comments are not accepted as votes. Payments will not process unless a minimum of a $5 donation is selected.). As a 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization, donations directly support the care and feeding of the Zoo’s animals, and the protection of animals and plants around the world. The Zoo is matching up to $20,000 in donations through the naming contest. The name that raises the most funds will be the selected name for the female cub. The little one will finally have her own name on Thursday, February 1! The cub’s Care Specialists have chosen five names with South Asian origin as an homage to the Malayan tiger species: 🐯 Nayla (NAY-la) meaning a winner, or one who goes ahead to get everything 🐯 Mina (MEE-nah) meaning one who is unrelenting and determined 🐯 Seniya (seh-NI-yah) meaning one who is praiseworthy 🐯 Indah (IN-dah) meaning beautiful one 🐯 Cahya (KAI-yah or ka-HI-yah) meaning one who is the light in darkness The two siblings have been named by donors; the male is Machli (MOCK-lee), a world-renown tiger of the Ranthambore National Park, and the female is Beppy, named after a beloved family member.

For over 20 years we have partnered with Nemours during our annual Teddy Bear Affair. Children were invited to bring their own plush animals to see specialists for x-rays, eye exams, casts and more. This helps ease worries about seeing the doctor with the use of their furry friend.

Established in 2017, Toast to Conservation celebrates our commitment to protecting threatened animals, plants and ecosystems around the globe. This year will be held at a unique piece of Jacksonville's history, The Glass Factory. The charming venue sets the stage for a once-in-a-lifetime performance from model and actor, Isabella Rossellini, an exquisite plated menu and cocktail hour, an auction for conservation and an exclusive opportunity for a meet-and-greet. Our wildlife conservation programs include organizations locally and globally which we have dedicated over $1.25 million to within the past five years.
