Leona

Leona the LemurSpecies: Ringtail Lemur

Background: Leona was donated to us from a Zoo in the Catskill Mountains of NY.  She was born blind and because of this she was bullied by the other lemurs who shared her exhibit. Her keepers tried  numerous times to integrate her into their colony but failed every time and decided she would do better in an educational facility like Animal Adventures.

Interesting Fact: Very few lemurs can walk, instead they will usually choose to hop when traveling on the ground!

Fruit Loops

Fruit Loops - Aracari ToucanSpecies: Aracari Toucan

Background: After long deliberation, AA president, Nick Jacinto, finally decided to placate his clients who routinely asked to see a toucan in our shows. However, the large toco toucans commonly associated with “George of the Jungle” and “Fruit Loops” are messy, require large enclosures and are very difficult for young children to hold. Therefore, the little Aracari Toucan proved to be the perfect compromise!

Interesting Fact: Aracaris are the smallest toucans in the world and are very rare in captivity. But like all toucans, they have the ability to gulp and swallow fruit whole!

Russell

Species: Bennetts Wallaby

Age: 8 Months old

Background: Russell (Crowe) was flown to us from Minnesota as a bottle-fed baby and adores the attention of people. Unlike other wallabies, which are often nervous and shy, Russell is very outgoing and thrives on the attention of a large group.

Interesting Fact: Wallabies are Marsupials just like Koalas, Wombats, Oposums, and Kangaroos.

Pinocchio
