Deserve to Thrive Among Us!
Florida Bonneted Bat
Florida bonneted bats depend on pine rockland habitat for their roosts. The nearby dark and open parking lot of Zoo Miami provides the necessary hunting grounds for these bats to feed on insects like mosquitoes, serving as a natural pest control.
Miami Tiger Beetle
The tiny yet iridescent Miami tiger beetle finds its food by darting about the ground. These predators are endemic, or are only found in Miami-Dade County’s Pine Rockland habitat.
Rim rock crowned snakes
Rim rock crowned snakes, while not venomous, eat a variety of critters, such as worms, centipedes, spiders, and possibly small scorpions. Little else is known about the small and reclusive snake other than it calls the Pinelands its home.
