Roseate Spoonbill Update (as of July 22, 2024): Frost Science is sad to share news of the loss of one of our recently hatched roseate spoonbill chicks. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eaCwZykw ----------------------------------- We're excited to announce our newest arrivals— two roseate spoonbill chicks! Our pair of roseate spoonbills became parents for the first time when the chicks hatched on Thursday, June 27, and Saturday, June 29. All four spoonbills are healthy and doing well. These quirky, wading birds get their pink color from the foods they eat, which are full of carotenoids (organic pigment). Roseate spoonbills are designated by the State of Florida as threatened and are sensitive to habitat degradation, particularly in their feeding and nesting habitats. The adult spoonbills came to Frost Science in 2019 as a part of an Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan initiative to maintain healthy, sustainable populations of roseate spoonbills in zoos and aquariums, where they can inspire conservation action. You can be a part of this special occasion by helping us name the chicks. Head to https://lnkd.in/e34jUqPv to learn more and to submit your name ideas through Sunday, July 21. Visit Frost Science today to catch a glimpse of the new family in our Aviary. Fun Fact: Roseate spoonbill chicks don't have a spoon-shaped bill immediately after hatching. When they are 9 days old the bill starts to flatten, by 16 days it starts to look a bit more spoon-like, and by 39 days it is nearly full size.

Lewis Latimer taught himself mechanical drawing after being honorably discharged from the military. He worked in several companies as a professional draftsman, helping companies secure patents on emerging technologies like telephones and electric incandescent lighting. Juneteenth is an opportunity to reflect on our country's past and celebrate Black excellence. Throughout history, Black folks have made tremendous advances in STEM without receiving proper credit. Lewis Latimer is a prime example. Without his hard work, it may have taken much longer for affordable technologies to reach consumers hands! #Juneteenth

Did somebody say coral babies? 🥹 With the help of SECORE International, Inc., we have been able to grow four species of corals: Symmetrical Brain Coral, Boulder Brain Coral, Mountainous Star Coral, and Boulder Star Coral! This batch of fertilized corals are about 8 months old and part of a larger effort to conserve Florida's Coral Reef. Learn more about the corals growing in our WetLab during World Ocean Day Presented by the Miami DDA on Saturday, June 8 from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.: https://lnkd.in/eWmY_aQu
