Swim with a buddy! In this case it was Titan our tiger!



We recently put Titan in the pool for the first time, so that he can get used to swimming, and it was a very hot day here so it was a little treat for him to cool off! At first, Titan was a little cautious, and wanted nothing to do with the pool, but then as we got in and started splashing the water it really drew his attention over and he wanted to play with the water, after a little love and guidance, we gave him a little tug, and Titan was in the water! The minute he got in he LOVED it! Titan started swimming around, jumping off the steps so he can swim towards us, and at one point he even went to the deeper side with me, while he was swimming right behind me. We were so proud of Titan. Now that Titan is used to the water, we will be doing this on a usual basis. It’s great exercise too! To see all the photos from Titans swimming adventure then click here to see us swimming with the tiger!

The title of this blog says it all! Not one, two, three, or four.. but FIVE baby white faced capuchins! These capuchins really are beautiful little creatures. It really is amazing how they already show so much expression in their face and make chirps and sounds back to you as you speak to them. These babies are all getting fed a special formula and must be tended to around the clock. If you would like to see many of our baby animals here at ZWF then stop by for a tour!
