The Belize Zoo was founded in 1983 by Sharon Matola. It is home to more than 175 animals of about 45 species, all native to Belize.
In the blink of an eye, Grace the Tapir is now 7 months old!
Watching her grow has been an absolute joy for all of us at The Belize Zoo, and we know many of you have fallen in love with her too.
We’re thrilled to share that Grace has recently received an upgrade to her habitat!

Happy Independence Day, Belize!
Today we celebrate 44 years of resilience and unity as a nation. From our lush forests to our vibrant culture, there is so much to honor on this special day.
Enjoy these Independence Day “kisses” from your favorite little tapir, Grace!
