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!

Say hello to Charlie! He is a Caribbean Brown Pelican, found in the, well yes, you guessed it, the Caribbean! But they are also found along both coastal lines across the Americas. The brown pelican is one of two pelican species that are known to actually dive into the water for their food. They can grow to be up to 54in (137cm) long, and can weight as much as 12lbs (5.5kg). Their bill alone can be as long as 13.7in (34.8cm).

They eat mostly fish, diving in the water at high speeds, but occasionally, they eat crustaceans and amphibians. Pelicans normally live in flocks of both sexes, and generally fly in bigger groups. When flying over the waters, they generally fly close to the surface as to search for schools of fish to hunt in. You can come see Charlie and his friends here at ZWF with a private tour. To set up a private tour, come visit our tour page for details.

These two beautiful birds are White Naped Ravens (Corvus albicollis). Although Shaqui has been with us for a little bit, Pete has just recently been brought in to pair with Shaqui.  The White Napped Raven originally hails from the eastern and southern parts of Africa, generally found around small villages and town around the mountainous areas.  They can grow to be approximately 54cm (21.4 inches) long, and weight as much as 2lbs (865 grams)! The large white spot on the back of their neck, as well as an ivory tip on their beak identify the ravens.

The White Napped Raven is known to be one of the most intelligent species of raven, some have been known to learn basic human words, and might even have the ability to count! They are generally tame animals, even in the wild, and have a very mischievous personality, known to be tricksters and areal stars in some areas. Their diets consist of mostly anything editable. Ravens are omnivores, which means they will eat both meat and plants, including seeds, berries, eggs of other birds, and other small animals.

Three little bundles of joy were born this morning here at ZWF. They are all doing very well and look very healthy! There is one golden tabby tiger male, and two white tiger females! We are all very excited about this. Keep checking back to see updates on how the cubs are doing! We still have yet to decide what they will be named! Maybe you can help us name them!
