The magical “The Care and Keeping of Creatures” animal show at the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater is now open! The cast of more than a dozen animals includes Clark the king vulture, clouded leopard Banyan, Tilli the aardvark, Twiggy the seriema, and Rocket the rescued dog as “Professor Dumbledog.”
What do seals like to play with? How loud does a sea lion bark? Our keepers are experts in caring for our marine mammals, and you can find out how they do it. And meet the new walruses!
