Big Cat Rescue is a true sanctuary, accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, meaning we do not buy, sell, breed, trade or touch any of our cats. As a result we do not go into the enclosures with the cats at any time, so how do we clean them?
Pistachio Sea Turtle
Brookfield Zoo is thrilled to introduce Pistachio, an approximately 13-year-old female Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. Pistachio was found injured in the Gulf of Mexico after being struck by a boat propeller.
Hurricane Laura
Hurricane Laura ripped through the Zoo, damaging more than 20 animal habitats, countless fences, several roofs, and tumbled trees like dominoes. It is with sincere gratitude that we thank both our Central Louisiana community and our zoo community for their assistance during these trying times. We will be back. And we will see you again soon.
