Lee is soo correct, also everyone can ADOPT an animal at the zoo, this does help with funding! (if you have keiki/grandkids, adopt an animal for their holiday present, truly a great way to give the gift of year round entertainment value!)
They do actually have some very good care for their animals, very few animals display some of the common neurosis of confined animals, and their tiger enclosure is one of the best. As many here know, Namaste was very well taken care of, and we are on the donation list for another tiger (or two), and the tiger enclosure has been upgraded for this potential.
As our location is not prime for the AZA genotype breeding, our selection of available animals is limited. Even so, we have a very nice and diverse selection of RAIN FOREST animals.
With the great volunteer base, the zoo has undergone extensive upgrades in the last decade, and new volunteers are always needed to continue to offer this great resource to all...
