The off-exhibit breeding facility where Consuela was born is also the only anteater breeding facility in the United States.
Consuela and Nashville Zoo’s dozen other anteaters will make their public debut in a multi-million dollar, 4.5 acre South American exhibit being designed by Zoo President Rick Schwartz.
“The exhibit will feature tapirs, giant otters, jaguars, jabiru storks, saki and howler monkeys as well as giant anteaters and other South American animals,” said Schwartz. “When complete, the new exhibit will double the number of animal species exhibited at the Zoo.”
Curious guests have the chance to view Nashville Zoo’s anteaters before their official debut on an All Access Expedition Tour or a Back Stage Pass Tour. Visit www.nashvillezoo.org for more information on these special opportunities as well as anteater updates.
Nashville Zoo is located at 3777 Nolensville Road and is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
