Their saddle-billed storks are nesting and laying for the first time.
North Florida Wildlife Center on Instagram: "We’re incredibly excited to share some amazing news - our saddle-billed storks are nesting and laying for the very first time! These magnificent birds are growing increasingly threatened in the wild and are becoming rarer in human care. Every egg laid and every chick hatched is a significant step forward for the future of the species. While this is our pair’s first time laying - and they’re not the youngest of birds - we’re filled with hope and gratitude for the opportunity to even potentially contribute to the conservation of this remarkable species!"

7.2K views · 4.6K reactions | We are thrilled to introduce the newest residents to the Wildlife Center: a pair of golden-handed tamarins! Golden-handed tamarins are small primates native to the rainforests of northern South America. They live in tight-knit family groups, communicate with a wide range of calls and chirps, and are incredibly agile and curious. Their bright golden hands and feet are one of their most unique features - helping them grip branches as they move swiftly through the forest canopy. This is the female in the video enjoying her very first meal here at the Wildlife Center. She and her companion are settling in well, and we’re excited to watch their personalities shine as they get to know their new home! Come by and see them during your next visit! | North Florida Wildlife Center
