to extinction and commercial farming was seen as a way to preserve these
reptiles traced back to dinosaur times. Smaller gators are kept in grow-out
pens with larger ones moved to breeding ponds where females have one clutch
of eggs per year with up to 45 eggs. Scheduled entertainment includes
Alligator Feeding and a Weird Animal Show.

Mote Marine Aquarium
Miami MetroZoo
152nd Street, Miami. (305) 251-0400
Surviving hurricanes Betsy and Andrew, today’s Miami Metrozoo can be traced
back to Key Biscayne’s Crandon Park Zoo, created in 1948 when three monkeys,
two black bears and a goat were picked up for $270 from a road show stranded
near Miami. The collection grew to 1,200 animals, resulting in the Crandon
Park Zoo, which in 1967 succeeded in the rare captive birth and rearing
of an aardvark. Then 1965’s Hurricane Betsy caused deaths of 250 animals
leading to Metrozoo, a county-operated zoo opening in 1981, with 38 exhibits
covering 200 acres. In 1982, another 25 acres and a monorail were added,
with following years bringing the Wings of Asia exhibit, a 1.6 acre free-flight
aviary and more. In 1989, Metrozoo debuted both the first koala born on
the east coast and PAWS, the children’s petting zoo. In 1990, the Asian
River Life Experience opened with small-clawed Asian otters, a blood python,
Malayan water monitor, clouded leopards, land tortoises, muntjac deer,
demoiselle cranes, and fly-river turtles. On Aug. 24, 1992, Hurricane
Andrew blew away some 5,000 trees and Wings of Asia, built to withstand
winds of up to 120 m.p.h. The 300 exotic birds, representing the finest
collection of Asian birds anywhere, were lost. Reopening four months later,
by July, 1993, animals were back home at Metrozoo and 7,000 trees had
been planted. Exhibits now include the Andean Condor (1999), Meerkats
(2000), Cuban Crocodiles (2001), Squirrel Monkeys (2001) and “Dr. Wilde’s
World,” housing traveling zoological exhibits. American Bankers Family
