Wildlife rehabilitators must be experienced in the care of wild animals and have a veterinarian working with them to provide advice on the administration of proper care. A wildlife rehabilitation permit is required to provide medical care for injured wildlife or to raise orphaned wildlife for release back into the wild.

Meet Figgy and Trixy!
Kinkajous (Potos flavus) are nocturnal mammals native to the lowland rainforests of Central and South America. Their habitats range from eastern and southern Mexico through Belize and Costa Rica in Central America and down as far south as Ecuador and southern Brazil in South America. This animal’s love of honey along with its honey colored fur has given it the nickname the “Honey Bear”!

Baby animals
Soft and sweet.
Tiny mouths,
Eyes still asleep.

Some have feathers
Some have fur
So brand new
They hardly stir.

Meet Chester!

Many of you may remember him as a baby from last fall. You will now see him running all over the zoo. He loves treats from guests, but his favorite is peanuts from the staff that he can go and stash for later! He’s the sweet fox squirrel you’ll ever meet.

Did you know squirrels find 90-95% of the nuts they stash away! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2BJPKFCSW1MK9?ref_=wl_share

Hi, I'm a snail 🐌
I know that sometimes you don’t like me because I feed on the leaves of your garden or plants.
I give you some advice though: don’t kill me with poisons that cause me pain and pollute your garden!
If you put coffee grounds around your plants I will stay away and you will nourish the soil, because coffee grounds are fertilizer!
If you see me attached to a vase don't rip me from there, my protective wrapper breaks and I'll die.
If you see I'm being followed by little virgins, don't intervene, it's my little ones that I gave birth to. They are born without a shell, they are very delicate! Then, in a short time, nature will endow them with a tiny soft shell (don't touch it, it's fragile!) ). My little few survived!
But we are animals useful for the ecosystem, our history is very ancient!
Help us survive, thank you so much 🙏 🐌❤️

Lestat the Bratty Bat. Lestat is a juvenile Eastern Red Bat. They are a common bat in our area and beneficial. Eastern red bats prefer to eat moths and butterflies, but they will eat a wide variety of insects including crickets, flies, mosquitos and beetles, but also dine on planthoppers, leafhoppers, and spittlebugs. They are a small bat that measure at 3 inches long with a wingspan of 13 inches. They are unusually the first bats you’ll see out at dusk and often follow the same flight pattern each night. They can fly at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. Disclaimer: I do not recommend ever handling a bat without protective gloves. I am rabies vaccinated.

Come visit us between the hours of 10-7 Daily! No reservations required!!

ARE CAMELS SMART? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! They are highly intelligent and communicative animals. They have a very involved social hierarchy that utilizes vocalizations and body language to communicate. When teaching camels, they soak up information like giant sponges. It is common to finish a teaching session in the afternoon only to see the next day that your camel has not only retained what you taught them, but has thought about it and is further along then where you left off.

Sanka is one of our newest reptile members. He was surrendered to us. He’s a beautiful veiled chameleon who just needs a little more weight. You’ll be able to view Sanka in our reptile section. Did you know: The Veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) is a species of chameleon found only in the Arabian Peninsula. They are known for their variable color changes due to a variety of factors, including to show aggression, social status, reproduction, and stress. Veiled chameleons are named for the triangular protrusion on their heads, which is known as a casque.

It’s exhausting being cute all day. These precious little ones were brought in by Broken Bow Animal Control. They will be available for adoption in a few days. We aren’t sure what they’re mixed with, but they’re definitely cute. They’ll be a medium/large size. How sweet is that little snoring?!
