Busch Wildlife

Busch Wildlife is a Jupiter gem.  This wildlife sanctuary is home to many of Florida's native animals. Some are there being rehabilitated, while others are permanent residents due to not being able to be released back into the wild for various reasons.  You can get an up close look at Florida panthers, skunks, raccoons, alligators, and even bears!  They have an animal hospital for injured wildlife, so if you "rescue" a hurt animal you can take it into the sanctuary for rehabilitation.  We've dropped off a baby yellow belly slider turtle we found in our pool that had a cracked shell.   And we know of others that have dropped off baby possums and birds they found injured in their yards.  They also have a great Junior Naturalist program that one of our daughters has been involved with for several years.  They learn hands on about the animals, participate in feedings and cleaning out environments, as well as presenting their chosen animal at their wildlife encounter daily programs.  www.buschwildlife.org
