"CHIQUI'S BIG DEBUT!  After many months living behind the scenes, Chiqui the jaguar has finally moved into her new home on-site at the Zoo!  We have been fundraising tirelessly since we received her in early June to create a comfortable living space for this special cat.  Thanks to the generous support of friends and donors both in Belize and abroad, this became a reality and was celebrated yesterday with a wonderful ceremony.  Zoo Director Sharon Matola opened the celebration with a energetic performance of 'Chiqui's Song,' with the help of our little friends from KLIC Preschool.  Representatives from Belize Wildlife & Referral Clinic and Friends for Conservation and Development - FCD Belize were present to say a few words and carry out the official ribbon cutting for the exhibit.
