HULLO I AM HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR WERMS.

Training session with one of our lesser anteaters, also known as tamanduas.
Training in a zoo setting can be very beneficial. It allows us to work closely with the animal without having to be in their physical space, but also without having to anesthetize them. The behaviors are all voluntary, and the animal can choose to leave at any time.

also, anteaters are the best animal.

BIRTHDAY COUPLE!: Join us in wishing giant #anteater Jimi and his leading lady Tullah a very happy birthday! Together for nearly a year, Jimi’s head over heels for his gal. At 6-years-old, Tullah’s the boss, and 2-year-old Jimi’s just here for extra avocado and a good time. (He’s pictured below enjoying a birthday swim this afternoon!)
