Congrats to Zoo Miami for the birth of a baby Rhino! Akuti gave birth on April 23rd at approximately 12:30am! This is the second successful birth of this rare species and is the first successful birth of this species anywhere in recorded history to be the result of the induced ovulation and artificial insemination. Amazing! There are less than 3,000 Indian Rhinos left in the wild in small protected areas and we commend Zoo Miami for being an active leader in many global wildlife and environmental conservation initiatives.

Now that the baby Rhino is here and summer is nearing, a trip to the zoo is in order. When you think of zoos, typically an array of animals come to mind. However, have you ever thought about the habitats and who designed the animal's exhibit? Well Landscape Architects are a part of the team that design the zoos! Kudos to some of the amazing Zoo Design and Architecture firms out there! Here are some of our favorites….
