Padah is our (Red Tabby) Bengal Tiger Cub. As you can see in this photo, she was very focused in on sneaking up on me and pouncing on me! Of course this is just her way of playing and is also her natural instincts of her just being a usual Big Cat. She shares a large enclosure with our other Tiger Cub “Shanti”. You can meet Padah in person on a private tour here at our facility! Check out our Tours Page for more info.

Javi and Penelope are Red Ruffed Lemurs. They are both full grown adults. We have raised them since they were very young and they are extremely sweet animals. They are usually everyone’s favorite animal on our private tours (other than our cubs). When we have our tours, we take people inside their enclosure, and Javi and Penelope will leap into your arms! They expect you to carry them and they will lick you in return. It is a wonderful experience being around these guys, and they are truly beautiful and loving creatures. To view more updated photos of Javi & Penelope, then please visit Javi & Penelope’s Gallery.

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation was part of a Moroccan inspired Event on October 23rd, 2011. This was a birthday celebration, as well as a celebration for cancer survival. We brought Our Tufted Capuchin (Angie), and our Young Dromedary Camel (Aladdin). Teresita, who booked us for this event, wanted to share these wonderful photos she had from the event. We made a gallery with all the photos included, and we wanted to blog the photos to share them with everyone. Thank you Teresita, we are so glad that you were happy with the outcome of the event and thank you for sharing these wonderful photos with us as well! To view the rest of the photos from this past event, then please visit the Moroccan Event 10/23/11 Gallery.

As we previously blogged before, we just finished building a beautiful new enclosure for our Lions here at The Zoological Wildlife Foundation. We would like to thank Amber & Duane, as well as Candy and Sean Patel for contributing to the making of this enclosure. They truly made our lions lives that much more enjoyable by creating this wonderful large enclosure for them to live in. All of us here at ZWF truly thank you all for your helping hand in this! We really appreciate your concern and care for these animals. Thank you once again to Sean & Candy Patel, and Amber & Duane!

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation was part of a wonderful event for Sunil’s Home Orphanage. We brought our Tiger Cub, and our White-Handed Gibbons, to the event. Everyone loved the animals, and they took many photos beside them. This is the second year we have done an event for Sunil’s Home, and we enjoyed both times we have attended very much. To view more photos from this event, then please visit Sunil’s Home Event Gallery. We also have a video clip from our event as well!

The Zoological Wildlife Foundation, was on set at Univision for their filming of “El Gordo Y La Flaca”. We brought along our Kangaroo as part of a surprise for their show! Our Kangaroo is named “Marvin” and everyone absolutely loved him. Marvin was a star on the show and got so much attention. He was there for a short amount of time and later went right back to his large enclosed area at our foundation. The photos above were taken with the hosts of the show and our Kangaroo “Marvin”. To view more photos of Marvin, then visit Marvin’s Gallery.

Indah, our new baby Binturong, went outside for some outdoor exploring/playtime. She was a bit timid at first when she felt the long grass with her little claws, but after a while she got used to her surroundings and explored for a little. She really enjoyed laying in one of her favorite blankets, and just feeling the outdoor breeze as she tried to take a nap. She is such an adorable animal! To view more photos of her, then please visit Indah’s Gallery.

Big Bird is our Cassowary Bird, and has grown since the last time we blogged his arrival! If you see his previous photos when he had arrived here, you will notice that he did not have that casque on top of his head yet. A casque is a gray, helmet-like growth of tough, rigid yet elastic skin. This is one of its most distinguishing features and what gave the bird its name - in Papuan, ‘Kasu-weri’ means ‘horned head’. Dominant birds generally have larger casques. When the bird runs, it lowers its head and uses the casque as a sort of battering-ram to clear out everything in its path. To view more photos of Big Bird, then please visit Big Bird’s Gallery.
