The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center is home to more than 125 animals of about 48 native species, all of which were orphaned, born at the zoo, rehabilitated, or sent as gifts from other zoological institutions.

Hurricane Richard leveled most of the vegetation at The Zoo, downed trees choked pathways among the animal exhibits, flattening wooden decks, platforms, crushing the steel fencing surrounding the animal exhibits, and damaging both plumbing and drainage systems.
