A walk through La Selva or "the jungle" exhibit brings encounters with jaguars, many species of monkeys and tropical birds, and capybaras, the large guinea pig-like animals. The tapirs might be taking a dip in their pool or the giant anteaters might be snuffling out some tasty ants in a hollowed out palmetto. Brevard Zoo supports conservation projects in Mexico, Belize, Peru, Columbia, Paraguay, and Dominica.
