THANK YOU DONORS!
With your help we've raised over $255,000 and have built a wonderfull otter habitat! The Campaign is now closed and we are no longer able to add names to the donor plaque, but we can alway use donations toward the care or the otters and other animals in our wildlife sanctuary. We appreciate your support. Thank you!
Meet Fast Eddie. Fast Eddie is a North American River otter, and he is quite fond of the ladies! Fast Eddie was an orphaned cub that was rescued and hand-fed, so is now imprinted to trust humans and can no longer live in the wild. He came to Flamingo Gardens about 12 years ago to live with other otters.
Bella is our new female otter, who was hit by a car. Although now rehabilitated, she would have difficulty finding food in the wild; she would probably not survive.
Fast Eddie and Bella are part of one of the most successful otter breeding programs in the United States. Otters at Flamingo Gardens have produced over 39 offspring since the program started in 1989. These otters have been released into the wild or sent to other breeding programs at sanctuaries across the US. Perhaps our program’s success can be attributed to the setting among all the other wildlife and our loving animal care; but maybe it’s just Fast Eddie!
The new otter exhibit is bigger, with a larger pond, better viewing areas, a hurricane-proof night house, and multiple areas for the otters to build dens. The new exhibit will further improve the success of our breeding program and result in more otters released into the wild.
