Check out who came in to help with the daily office tasks! Nochi is one smart Jaguar; you should see how he really “crunches” those numbers! Just kidding! But he did seem to really enjoy his visit and training time, which consisted of playing ball and a fun walk! You can see more new pictures of him here! And be sure to check out our updated tour page that now includes an interactive portion with Nochi!

Some of our animal actors, and trainers, recently attended a Bar-Mitzvah at the Temple Beth Shalom. The star actors included Dahlia, the Princess Tiger (Siberian Tiger cub) accompanied by Andrea; Pinch Bug, the beautiful Merchant Anteater (Tamandua) accompanied by Anthony; Antoinette, the Beautiful Dancing Monkey (Capuchin Monkey) accompanied by Carolina; and their faithful companion, Peep, the Smooth Talking Cockatoo (Rosy Breasted Cockatoo). If you would be interested in having our regal animals attend one of your festivities, click here to view more information! And don’t forget, they are always happy to see you when you come to visit! We hope to see you soon!

We were recently featured on the El Show De Fernando Hidalgo Show! Come check us out!

Come see our king of the Zoo! Abu, the African Lion (Panthera Leo), he has been with us since he was just a little cub (you can see his baby picture here). Lions are the only cats that live in prides. Prides are generally made up of three males and anywhere between 11 – 14 females. The male lion is best known and easiest identified by the large mane that encircles their head. Female lions keep the pride nourished, as they are the hunters. Normally, they hunt in groups, surrounding their prey before moving in for the kill. But after the kill, they normally break down into fights and disagreements for sharing the kill.

Full-grown lions can grow to be up to 420lbs(191kg) and can be up to 6 and half feet long (2m)! They are known for their courage and strength, and although they once ruled the lands of Africa and parts of Europe, today they are mostly only found in Africa with their numbers still receding. Here at ZWF we can ensure that Abu is well taken care of and happy! You can come and visit our king of the zoo and all of his loyal subjects by visiting our tour page, or by sending us an email requesting a private tour! Abu hopes to see you soon!
