Welcome Chelsea, she just joined our volunteer program.
If you are looking to be an exotic animal keeper, veterinarian, or simply want to experience hands-on interaction with exotic animals, there may be room for you to join us for a few hours daily.
Working with exotic animals takes a lot of patience and commitment. It is not just playing with them. There are special diets to be prepared, cleaning, specific handling techniques, etc.
It can be extremely rewarding for those who share our love and respect for these cherished creatures. But make no mistake; there is a lot of work to be done!

Brown Lemur
Lionel, is a captive born brown lemur. Lemurs have a horizontal posture, which is suited to its predominantly quadrupedal mode of movement. Lemurs are capable of leaping considerable distances, their long furry tails assisting them in maintaining their balance. The short, dense coat of both sexes is grey-brown on the upperparts, and paler and slightly greyer on the underparts. The face, muzzle and crown are dark-grey to black, with faint pale eyebrow patches and paler grey-brown fur around the ears, cheeks and underneath the chin. The eyes are a rich orange-red.
The brown lemur is found in at least 13 protected areas, including four national parks, two strict nature reserves and seven special reserves. Captive bred populations also exist in institutions worldwide. The fate of the brown lemur in the wild will most probably be determined by the future of its forest habitat, which needs to be better preserved if the survival of this lemur is to be safeguarded.
Come see more pictures of our Brown Lemur in our Gallery

Penelope and Matthew - Our New Addition - Red Ruff Lemurs
The red ruff lemur is one of the largest primates of Madagascar with a body length of up to 56 cm, a tail length of up to 62 cm and weighing at about 4 kg. Their soft, thick fur is usually red and black in colour but a few are known to have a white or pink patch on the back of the neck and/or a ring on the base of the tail in a similar colour.
Active during the day especially in the evening, often to be found feeding in tree with ripe fruit. Fruit makes up 75% of the diet. In the rainforest, fig trees do not bear fruit all at the same time, so the day is spent moving through the forest jumping and climbing from tree to tree, looking for ripe fruit.
Red ruff lemurs produce litters of offspring and can have up to six infants at one time, but more usually twins. They are also unusual in that they do not carry their young on their stomachs or backs but instead leave their litters in a nest of leaves whilst they go off to find food alone.
These two beautiful Red Ruff Lemurs are the New addition to our many exotics animals that take refuge here at Zoological Wildlife Foundation, also are Future Breeders, and our next educational show star.. Give a warm welcome to Penelope and Matthew.
