Enjoying the zoo encouraging patrons to take #thelaststraw pledge.  Come on out!
Yesterday was a great day for K-9 officer Cash and his human officer Pfc. Patrick Nettles! A two-year-old boy was playing with his grandpa in Bamberg County when he quickly rode off on a remote-controlled car and got lost in the woods. Our officers worked with the Bamberg County Sheriff's Office in the search. Cash was deployed and, in just eight minutes, he found the boy a half-mile away. Congratulations and treats are in order for Cash and Pfc. Nettles!
🦅Report bald eagle nests to SCDNR!🦅
Now is the season when South Carolina’s ~400 bald eagle pairs are raising a new generation of young.
🦅
If you’ve been lucky enough to spot and active bald eagle nest, we'd urge you to check it against the locations of currently known nests (available as a Google Earth file you can find by searching “SCDNR Eagle Nest Locations”).
🦅
If you think you’ve discovered a new nest, please report it on our website! The more nests our biologists are aware of, the better we’re able to continue protecting these American icons.

Leatherbacks ahoy! These gentle giants, the world's largest turtles, are showing up in South Carolina waters following food sources such as cannonball jellies.
🐢
BOATERS: Please be on the lookout for these endangered, unusual reptiles in nearshore waters. We welcome your sightings at seaturtles@dnr.sc.gov.
🚤
Please report any injured or dead sea turtles to our 24/7 wildlife hotline at 1-800-922-5431!
