Hello you beautiful lot!
We have a surprise for you 😜
Who’s excited? …….. we're excited.
Meet Dobby the Three-banded Armadillo
Yes that’s correct….. Armadillo.
Dobby joined us a few weeks back and has been settling in nicely. Whilst Dobby was born in captivity, Three-banded Armadillos are native to South America and they are the only type of Armadillo that can roll into a complete ball - mind your fingers!
Dobby will be working towards venturing out on encounters with us soon so keep an eye out for him.

Today we said goodbye to our beautiful boy Murphy. Murphy was a striped skunk and came to live with us as a rescue back in February 2020 having been imported from Ireland and not treated with the love and care he so deeply deserved. Since residing with us here at Animalistic Encounters, Murphy grew in confidence and was deeply loved and adored by so many who had the privilege to meet him and work with him. Murphy had quirks including is obsession for red pepper 🫑 and chasing locusts.
Whilst we do not know his exact birthday, his age had caught up with him. In 2022, Murphy had an injury to his spine as the result of a firework going off nearby and more recently his eye sight had deteriorated making navigating very difficult for him. We had noticed considerable changes to his behaviour, appetite and mobility over the past few weeks which have dramatically affected his quality of life.
As a team we are truly heart broken and will miss Murphy very very much. 💔🦨

🌟We are a tiny bit behind with the times but could not resist sharing with you all Thelma's massive achievement.
Last week saw us working alongside our amazing friends Essex Kids Camp and for the first time, Thelma (Tawny Owl) flew across an entire school hall (approx 20 meters) over a large group of children sitting on the floor.
She flew on command and landed beautifully on Lexi's glove.
Thelma came to us as a 4-week-old chick (captive-bred) in April this year and has grown up into an amazing companion and team member.
Watch this space for further updates on Thelma's progress and be sure to look out for baby Boobook Brian/Bryony 🤩
🦉 Some flight practice this evening with Thelma the Tawny Owl. She isn't completely feathered yet, but as you can see, is happy to go flying for some food!
If you turn your sound on you will hear some amazing slowmo noises as she screams on the way to the glove.
Stay tuned for another feathered surprise, but that news will have to wait for another day! 😉
