Unusual Ambassador: The Batchelor Falcon Bird of Prey Center at the Miami Science Museum is rehabilitating a rare visitor to the Florida skies. An injured short eared owl will be staying here for the next several weeks as it is returned to health before releasing it back to the wild. The short eared owl is an occasional visitor to Florida, but currently there are no known colonies of this majestic animal existing in the state.

Every year, the Miami Science Museum hosts Snake Day, a community event featuring snakes and the people who love them. This year, nearly 1,000 people came to the Museum to celebrate all things herpetological and 125 brought their pet snakes with them!
