Zephyr the serval is here to remind you what day it is… TGI Feline Friday! 😸 #DYK the serval has the longest legs & largest ears for its body size of any cat? These huge ears act like radar dishes, giving them an acute sense of hearing to locate & pounce on prey.

Say hello to Quint! This little one is named after captain Quint from the movie Jaws! Quint & mom Fiona are both doing well! During the most recent check-up, Quint is weighing in at about 1.5 pounds (about the weight of a loaf of bread) & is growing beautifully by the day!🦥

Think snakes are spooky? Think again! 🐍👻 Timber Rattlesnakes are actually silent guardians of our environment. Snakes are incredibly beneficial, helping to keep rodent populations in check and maintaining balance in their habitats.

A fall afternoon cat nap 🍂 Did you know cheetahs sleep around 12 hours a day? These diurnal cats are most active during the cooler mornings and evenings, but rest is very important for conserving their energy for high-speed hunts.
