Good morning from these sleepy opossums.

Xander with some flower enrichment for this dreary Wednesday morning.
Tamanduas are incredibly strong animals, especially for their size. Their grip is designed to keep them in the trees and even hang upside down. Their claws are meant for digging and slashing to get to termites and ants, and sometimes even defense. Their prehensile tail acts as a fifth limb to get the ultimate grip.

Did you know sloths have flat, short, and compact skulls? The shape allows for specific muscular attachments necessary to process tough, fibrous leaves with minimal energy.

They are such a great help cleaning. Always there to dump everything back out so I have to pick it all up again.

Some belly scratches for Meika ❤️
Today is our last fox encounter for the season. Our foxes like to sleep through the heat of the day as we go into the warmer months, and we don’t blame them.

We will resume fox encounters again in October and they are on our website to be booked.
