GIVINGTUESDAY 2026
A New Home For Giant Anteaters & Capybaras
We've broken ground on an extraordinary new habitat for Bumi, our resident giant anteater, with plans to welcome a female partner for him and capybaras in the future! Spanning over 15,000 square feet, the habitat will feature a large pond, enriching natural features, and immersive new viewing and educational experiences, making it an incredible addition to the North Florida Wildlife Center.
Thanks to our supporters, we've already raised approximately 15% of the $80,000 needed for this project! Our GivingTuesday Challenge will help bring us nearly halfway to our overall goal.
GivingTuesday is December 1, but you don't have to wait to make a difference!
Every donation made toward this campaign from November 17th to December 1st will count toward out $25,000 goal.
The Habitat
More than just a new habitat, this project represents an exciting step forward for the Wildlife Center. Designed with animal welfare and guest experiences in mind, it will provide a dynamic environment where our animals can thrive while giving visitors a closer look at their natural behaviors. With construction already underway, we're excited to see this vision begin taking shape!
