Our “Small Wonders from Down Under” education program features these animals, but many also participate in our “Walk on the Wild Side” program. We offer a special “Meet and Feed a Bearcat” Animal Experience in which you will interact with and feed one of these unique and special animals.
Note that our bearcats are available for our education programs for an additional fee.

- Ever hear of a Binturong (Arctictis binturong)? These interesting animals are also known as bearcats and are found in the forests of South-East Asia. While known as bearcats they are neither a part of the bear or cat family, instead are more closely related to mongooses or genets. Binturongs are hardly seen in the wild and are considered vulnerable from extinction; get up close with these rare and fascinating animals at a tour or show.

- The cane toad is a large, terrestrial true toad which is native to Central and South America. A prolific breeder, females lay single-clump spawns with thousands of eggs, its reproductive success is partly because of opportunistic feeding. It has a diet, unusual among frogs, of both dead and living matter.
