Pecan nose she’s cute 🐽✨ She’s always (hog)ging the camera! 🤭 Pecan is an Ossabaw Island Hog, known for being exceptionally hardy and well-adapted to cold weather. They have unique metabolisms that allow them to store large fat reserves during low-food periods.

This Penguin Awareness Day, forget the snow and ice- the Humboldt penguin is fighting for survival not against the cold, but against rising temperatures, food competition, and habitat loss along the scorching coasts of Peru and Chile.

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.

Did you know- a common misconception about Bactrian camels is that they store water in their humps. This isn’t true, their humps actually store fat which provides them with energy when food is scarce! Camels can however use their adaptations to conserve water in other ways. ☀️🐫

Cathartes, the turkey vulture, is striking a pose! A horaltic pose that is. This stance, known as the "horaltic pose", helps vultures thermoregulate and dry off any damp feathers after cool evenings by soaking in the sun's UV rays. 📸 Keeper Courtney
