World Lemur Day
When visiting Tiger Creek, you've probably noticed that we care for many other critters besides big cats. You've likely seen and heard our dynamic Ring-Tailed Lemur duo, Lily and Leonard! Lily and Leonard are both very outgoing girls who love to interact with our tour groups. They will swing about their yard, seemingly flying from branch to branch to come as close as they can to the crowd.

Celebrating National Zoo Keeper Week: The Wild Ride of Zookeeping at Tiger Creek
As kids, we imagine zookeeping to be an idyllic job. The tendency is to believe that keepers get to hangout and play with animals all day. While it’s true to an extent that keepers' jobs do revolve around the animals, which includes interacting with them, that's not quite the full story. What most people don’t realize is how much zookeeping is a little less like the movies and a lot more dirty, and has way more paperwork than you would think. At Tiger Creek, keepers begin the

Remembering Dunkin
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our resident Dunkin the raccoon. He had just had his 8th birthday, and lived a long and full life here at the sanctuary.

The rehabber contacted us, and we had the honor of giving him a home. Dunkin was the shyer of the two, often seen hanging out in one of his many hides
