The first animal on exhibit was a red deer fawn. On July 19, 1925, the Zoo moved to a 37.5-acre site on the Trout River off Heckscher Drive in North Jacksonville.

Toucans are found in tropical and subtropical forests in Central and South America. In Costa Rica, these flamboyant birds can be spotted in Carara National Park, Tortuguero, Manuel Antonio National Park, and many parts of the Central Valley and Guanacaste Province. Toucans are vocal birds, shrieking loudly as they fly in staggered flocks of 3 to 15 individuals.
