Episode 1: The Closure

Inside Busch Wildlife Sanctuary

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary was closed to the public due to COVID19 for 8 weeks. That closure led to some very unique circumstances within the facility. The otters became starved for attention while the more, human-shy bobcats relished in the quiet. Each animal had its own reaction as the wild-wildlife increasingly encroached behind the Sanctuary’s boundaries. This is truly co-existing with nature.

Bears, alligators, panthers, eagles and many, many more. Take a journey with David C. Guggenheim inside this amazing Sanctuary which cares for injured, sick and unreleasable wildlife in southern Florida. It’s a place for healing; animal and human alike.

And get to know one very special animal, Stu the Black Bellied Whistling Duck. Haven’t heard of Stu? Well, let us put it this way, what does a duck have to do to become Busch’s “unofficial mascot” – Come find out, INSIDE Busch Wildlife Sanctuary!
