Our Animals
WAB have aquired many exotic animals and are passionate about the different species they keep.
| Ringtail Lemurs |
 | Ring Tailed Lemurs
The Ring-tailed Lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs but uncommon among other primates
To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds groups will huddle together forming a lemur ball. The Ring-tailed Lemur will also sunbathe, sitting upright facing its underside, with its thinner white fur towards the sun. Like other lemurs, this species relies strongly on its sense of smell and marks its territory with scent glands. The males perform a unique scent marking behavior called spur marking.

Ocelots are native to south America
The Ocelot's appearance is similar to that of the domestic cat. Its fur resembles that of a Clouded
Leopard or Jaguar and was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Ocelots have been killed for their
fur. The feline was classified a "vulnerable"
endangered species from 1972 until 1996 |
