Meet Our Incredible Wildlife Ambassadors
Black Bears
Meet Oscar, our black bear ambassador. His story helps visitors better understand the needs, intelligence, and strength of black bears.
​Bobcats
Bobcats are wild animals, not pets. Our bobcat ambassadors help teach why private ownership often leads to difficult outcomes for both people and animals.
Lynx
Our lynx ambassadors help visitors understand the beauty, power, and specialized needs of these wild cats. With unique adaptations, behaviors, and care needs that make them unsuitable as pets.
Coyotes
Our coyote ambassadors help visitors see coyotes in a new way—as intelligent, adaptable predators who play an important role in the ecosystem.
​Foxes
From red foxes to Arctic foxes, our fox ambassadors each have unique stories that help teach about adaptation, behavior, and responsible wildlife care.
Pumas
Also known as cougars or mountain lions, pumas are powerful wild cats with quiet strength, expressive voices, and complex care needs.

Raccoons are clever, curious, and often misunderstood. Our ambassadors help explain why wild animals taken from the wild can be very difficult to rehome.
Servals
Servals are striking African wild cats with incredible jumping ability and sharp hunting skills, but their needs make them unsuitable as pets.

Our tiger ambassadors help visitors understand what happens when big cats are no longer small, cute, profitable, or easy to manage.
​​White Tigers
Nalin helped teach the truth behind white tigers, including the myths, misconceptions, and breeding practices that often surround them.
