Introducing Nebula (Nebbie) to the Wild Acres family.

She is named after the marvel character due to her very dark eyes. She is living on and off behind the scenes at the moment but will be slowly transitioning to our cougar compound over the next several months. You may see her, or Finn depending on the day and time.

Full of adorable chirps and warm purrs, this little girl is a true gem and is already spoiled rotten from her previous facility.

We cannot wait to see everyone this Friday for wine safari and this Saturday for Mammals and Mimosas!!! If you do not have your tickets, be sure to get them ASAP! โค๏ธ ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿฅ‚ ๐Ÿ…

Tours will continue through the entire week, keep an eye on the weather and come out and see us!

Get your tickets and come out for a great time at the farm with other groups from all over the gulf coast. We consider Wild Acres a living classroom and it can be a powerful educational tool used in your curriculum. This outing can even be an outlet for excess energy, or as a social experience for kids outside of the classroom or home setting! ๐Ÿงช ๐Ÿซ

Our hands-on tour is sure to be a treat for all involved. Hand feed porcupines, capybaras, cavys, get up close with macaws and coatimundis, and view cougars, kangaroos, monkeys from around the globe, tigers, bears, leopards and so much more! ๐Ÿฆ˜

Reserve your spot before they are gone! โค๏ธ

Someone did not like us installing Owl decoys outside their enclosure on the big ladder. Those moans and grunts are her affectionate vocalizations. #WildAcresMS #tigers #msgulfcoast

Pre Booking Otter and Capybara Excursions
Pre Booking Otter and Capybara Excursions

Aid in the enrichment of our Asian Small clawed otters and Capybaras. Reservations are extremely limited as this takes place only a few weeks out of the year. After hanging out with the Otter and Capys for 2 hours, you will embark and a tour of the entire facility to be hands on with many other species that call Wild acres home. The excursion is then wrapped up with a sloth experience. This is truly the best that we offer and something everyone deserves to experience at least once! #Otters #Msgulfcoast #capybara #WildAcresMS #OtterSwim For reservations see the link below. https://book.singenuity.com/501/activity/details/2517
