Did you know that sloths have incredibly slow heart rates? Their ability to slow their heartbeat to about 1/3 of what is considered normal, allows them to drastically reduce their oxygen needs and conserve energy.

Happy International Fox Day from our favorite foxes 🦊 We are blessed to share our lives with three different species: red fox, fennec fox, arctic fox, as well as bat-eared fox.

Why did I say three but listed four animals called foxes? The bat-eared fox is not considered one of the 12 true foxes. They actually belong to their own genus mainly due to the significant difference in the amount of teeth they have. They have more teeth than any other non-marsupial mammal.

We welcomed a baby binturong, aka bearcat, into our program almost three weeks ago and we couldn’t be more excited to share him with you. While neither a bear or a cat, these guys have so many awesome characteristics! Binturong encounters coming soon!

Honey and bee pollen on a jolly ball for the kinkajous. You might notice the brown spots on the side of their house. Kinkajous actually secrete a brown oil that stains everything from wood to fabric. The oil in their fur serves two main purposes: it acts as a repellent for moisture as they live in the tree tops of rainforests and it is a way to mark their territory.
