Our Wild Neighbors

Did you know that Brookgreen Gardens owns 9,000 acres of land?  Much of that land is
 undeveloped, but even the gardens and zoo have a lot of habitat for our wild neighbors. 
 As you visit us, look around!  You may see some wildlife yourself.

Halloween with the Otters

Our otter triplets were given a jack o' lantern for Halloween. 
Look how big the otters are now.  They were just born in March!
