Our Wildlife programs consist of nine animals which include the following: A Florida Panther, Scarlet Macaw, Barred Owl, 2' American Alligator, Rose-Hair Tarantula, Gila Monster, Kinkajou, Ringtail Lemur and an 8' Albino Burmese Python.

The animals are presented to the group one at a time. We teach the students about each animal on their grade level and then allow members of the audience to come up and help us handle the animals. Photos can also be taken with the animals. The Program is exciting, humorous and very educational. The program usually lasts about 1 hour.
