Derby The Bennett Wallaby

Derby is a Bennett Wallaby. He resides with us at Zoological Wildlife Foundation. Derby is now extremely happy since he now has a mate and soon enough Z. W .F. will have baby wallabies as well. Don’t go crazy searching out site for his mate, she will be make her first appearance next week as our new recent addition for the week. Derby’s mate is about a year and a half old her name has been given but no more details will be given here. wallabies are mainly solitary but will gather together when there’s an abundance of resources such as food, water or shelter. When they do gather in groups, they have a social hierarchy similar to other wallaby species. Wallabies are mainly crepuscular. They spend most of the daytime resting in vegetation.

Inside the Tiger Habitat

Inside the Tiger Habitat

Our Bengal Tigers are now between three to four years of age and reaching sexual maturity. They are between 350 to 500 pounds depending on the individual. They each consume 70 to 100 pounds of meat or chicken each week. With one day of fasting. They love to swim in their pool, play with the bowling balls, chase and wrestle with each other. You can hear their roar, chuff, hisses, snarfs and growling sounds throughout the property.

Our tigers are intact we do not believe in housing any animal that is altered. Today there more tigers in captivity than in the wild. Due to deforestation, hunting for their meat and their illegal demand as trophies!

We offer tours of our facility by appointment only. Where you will get an up close and personal experience within very safe boundaries. Our trained staff accompany our visitors at all times. Feel free to check out our tiger habitat gallery for updates on them.

Luna and Cliff

 

Meet Luna, our Bonnet Macaque and Cliff, a White Faced Capuchin. They have been raised together since tiny babies along with Diana, our adorable Tufted Capuchin. They love each other`s company. Luna just was introduced to solid food. While Cliff still drinks his bottle. He is such a baby! They spend hours each day playing with their bright colored toys and blankets.

We spend hours on a regular basis cleaning cages, toys, blankets, preparing food, bottle feeding, bathing and interacting with our babies. It is part of our daily routine at ZWF. We enjoy the special bond and interaction with our primates. Part of our volunteer program is to have that same interaction and enrichment for our primates. We strive to do the very best for our non-human family memebers at ZWF.

Mac Our Black Spider Monkey

Mac Our Black Spider Monkey

Mac is our new Black Spider Monkey. He is four months old and loves to stay clinging on to everything and everyone. He love attention and people at all times. A very demanding little fellow. We started introducing  solid foods, but we give him formula for most part. These New World primates are social and gather in groups of up to two or three dozen animals. At night, these groups split up into smaller sleeping parties of a half dozen or fewer. Foraging also occurs in smaller groups, and is usually most intense early in the day. Spider monkeys find food in the treetops and feast on nuts, fruits, leaves, bird eggs, and spiders. They can be noisy animals and often communicate with many calls, screeches, barks, and other sounds.

Typically, females give birth to only a single baby every two to five years. Young monkeys depend completely on their mothers for about ten weeks, but after that time they begin to explore on their own and play amongst themselves. Mothers continue to care for their young for the first year of their lives, and often move about with their offspring clinging to their backs. Feel free to visit his gallery for more pictures.
