Our animals
Every ambassador has a story and a say.
Meet some of the animals who help make learning memorable—and the welfare-first approach that determines when and how they participate.
Health and temperament always come firstMammals
Small mammals and other carefully selected ambassadors, each with individual routines, boundaries, and personalities.
Birds & amphibians
Bird ambassadors plus frogs and other amphibians help show just how different animal bodies and habitats can be.
Arthropods & more
Tarantulas, scorpions, vinegaroons, beetles, isopods, insects, crabs, and other animals that reward a closer look.
A few familiar faces
Look closely. Wonder follows.
The Animal People family continues to grow and change. These portraits are a sample, not a guaranteed program lineup.
The most important policy
Animals are participants, not props.
Specific animals, holding, feeding, and photos are never guaranteed. Participation changes with health, temperament, rest, weather, and safe handling needs.
That flexibility helps every visit stay educational, respectful, and genuinely good for the animals involved.
