Let us teach the differences in vertebrate and invertebrate, warm-blooded and cold-blooded, turtles and tortoises in our unique presentation. The Bobcat, the Vulture, and other wildlife native to our area help us teach children how to appreciate their own environment.

Ringtailed Lemur Oliver An amazing, endangered prosimian from Madagascar.
Coatimundi Squeaky A beautiful and amazing member of the Raccoon from Central America.
Binturong Bubba Sometimes called the Asian Bearcat, this arboreal mammal has a prehensile tail to assist it's movement through the trees. These animals are native to Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Palaway Island, Burma, Indochina, Sumatra, Bangka, Java, Borneo, and Nepal. The Binturong is rare in its current range due to habitat destruction.

Viet Nam Pot Bellied Pigs Bonnie and Clyde Miniature pigs that recently have become a popular house pet in the United States give us an unusual way to teach about the uses the medical profession has for pigs, and to interest students in the geography of Asia.
Mink
Chinchilla A fur bearing animal now extinct in the Andes Mountains of South America.
Opossum George Jones North America's only marsupial really does PLAY POSSUM and has more teeth than any other North American mammal.
George Jones, the opossum that appears in the Animal Show comes with a great rescue story.
Holly Goble, a student at Susan Moore Elementary, found 7 baby opossums in her yard after their mother was killed by a dog. Holly raised the babies and released them when they were big enough to care for themselves. One of them would not leave, coming back to sit on the porch. They were afraid a dog would kill him and so the Gobles called Brian Blazer. George Jones lives with the Blazers, he enjoys going to school and teaching children about opossums.
Thanks Holly for rescuing George and his siblings!
