The zoo was founded in 1983 as a last resort for animals rescued or donated from various sources, such as the film industry, government agencies, and private individuals. Today, it serves as a sanctuary for over 170 animals, including jaguars, tapirs, howler monkeys, and scarlet macaws, all of which are native to Belize.
