The zoo includes a reptile room and sloth
and lemur habitats.
"People think the sloths are faster than
they are expected to be," Marcia said. "It's
usually just a lot of awe when people see
them. When we bring people in with the
slots we see tears and we see laughter. It's
just amazement because these animals are
so different than the ones we are used to
seeing."
The zoo offers an admission package that
includes an up-close encounter with sloths
named Blondie, Scarface and Baby. Mace, a
two-year-old reticulated giraffe, is another
popular attraction kids love.
"It's a huge responsibility to take care
of these animals," Marcia said. "We take
it very seriously. When people walk away
from the zoo we want them to know we
absolutely love these animals; that we give
them the best possible life while they are
under our care, and hope folks do the same
for any animals under their care."
