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.

Bengal Tiger at ZWF

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.

Tony The Squirrel Monkey

Meet Tony our Squirrel Monkey. He is a lovable primate indeed with a beautiful color variation throughout his body. Also, Tony eats great as well. Overall it’s a blessing to have a monkey like him. Visiting Zoological Wildlife Foundation and taking our tours would give you the opportunity to have chance to hold and interact with him and many other animals in our Zoological Garden. Take the time to visit his gallery of pictures on our site. Also, check out more information about Squirrel Monkeys on it’s animal page.

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.

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!
