Training time with a bite! 🐊

Our keepers use feeding sessions as an important part of animal care. For our Nile crocodile, these sessions help build trust between animal and keeper, and allow staff to monitor body condition, movement, and overall health.

It may look like lunch, but every session has a purpose—and those powerful jaws are a great reminder of the skill, focus, and respect our keepers bring to their work every day.

Dinner with a side of enrichment! 🐾

Our bobcat put those quick paws and sharp instincts to work. This type of enrichment encourages natural behaviors like reaching, batting, and problem-solving.

It may look like play, but enrichment is an important part of animal care—keeping animals active, engaged, and mentally stimulated.

Happy World Oceans Day! 🌊

Even from right here in central Louisiana, we’re connected to the ocean. The choices we make every day—reducing single-use plastics, keeping waterways clean, recycling when possible, and supporting conservation—help protect the rivers, wetlands, and oceans that wildlife depend on.

From the smallest fish to the biggest marine mammals, healthy oceans mean a healthier planet for all of us. 💙
