Since then, the Jacksonville Zoo has come a long way. The Municipal Zoo opened in the Springfield neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida on May 12, 1914. 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. Over the course of the next forty years, the Zoo continued to grow in area and in terms of animals on display. Perhaps the most significant animal in the Zoo's history was a jaguar named Zorro..

One of the most important dark cloud constellations was Yacana âthe llama, which rises above Cuzco, the ancient capital city of the Incas, in November. It consists of two llamas â the Mother Llama, seen between the Southern Cross and Scorpio, and the Baby Llama, suckling at her motherâs breast. Although The Llama is a dark cloud constellation, the eyes of the Mother Llama are the two bright stars from the constellation Centaurus. One is Alpha Centauri, which is the third brightest star in the night sky (to the naked eye it appears as one star, but is in fact a binary star system), and the other â Beta Centauri, is a trinary star system.
