Baby Ducks
Ducks are mostly aquatic birds. Generally, smaller than swans and geese, they may be found in both fresh water and sea water. The word duck comes from the Old English “duce” “diver”, a derivative of the verb “ducan” “to duck, or dive”, because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending.
Ring-tailed Lemurs
Our Ring-Tailed Lemurs are the most recognized of all Lemurs due to their long, black and white ringed tail. Like all Lemurs, the Ring-Tailed little ones are native to the island of Madagascar located off the coast of East Africa.
Pagona (Bearded Dragons)
The name “bearded dragon” refers to the “beard” of the dragon, the underside of the throat, turning black, often as a result of stress. Pogona species lay on rocks and exposed branches in the mornings and afternoons. They can be found throughout Australia in a wide range of habitats such as deserts, shrublands and Eucalyptus woodlands.
Kinkajou
The Kinkajou is a tropical rainforest mammal related to Raccoons, Ringtails and Cacomistle. These beautiful animals are arboreal, meaning they live most of their lives in trees. Although, classified in the order of Carnivora with razor sharp teeth, our Kinkajou’s diet consists mainly of fruit, particularly figs.
