Hi! My name is Kaya the kinkajou. I decided that I wanted to go out for lunch today, so my keepers took me out for a little quality time. I got to explore, make new friends, and most importantly found a new snack!
I ordered bananas & monkey chow last time...let's try something new!

Our volunteers at Wild Wonders are exposed to a hands on experience like no other. Their helping hands are invaluable to our organization, aiding staff with everything from basic maintenance, feeding and cleaning, and even rolling up their sleeves to do the dishes. We were fortunate enough to have some extra time today to train some of our newer volunteers on how to properly handle several of the different species in our collection. Not only is it fun for our volunteers to work on their animal handling skills, but it provides us with the time to give our animals a cursory checkup to make sure they are healthy as well as socialize them to be comfortable as their important role as animal ambassadors.

A large part of what we strive for at Wild Wonders is education. Sure we love our furry and scaly friends, but if we kept them at home all to ourselves we wouldn’t exactly be sharing the love. Every week many of our animal ambassadors hit the road to make guest appearances at a variety of outreach programs. Whether its a school assembly, education convention, or library program, all in attendance can take a ‘walk on the wild side’ and see some unique animals from all around the world up close. In a fun and interesting way, our wildlife educators bring conservation to life taking their audience on a journey interacting with the inhabitants of the African savanna, to the top of the rain forest canopy, and all the way down under to the Australian outback. Allowing kids to see a wallaby hop two feet in front of them, or for them to actually touch an American alligator excites and inspires them like no textbook or website ever could. We are so pleased to share our passion with so many bright young minds!
Here’s Mika the kinkajou being the amazing ambassador that she is!

Happy Halloween!
Our animals had a great month! To celebrate one of our favorite holidays; the animals dug into jack-o-lanterns, we made some special appearances at parties all around the San Diego, all this in addition to popping up on a halloween themed episode of Bonnie Hunt. Our very own Raji the Binturong dazzled not only her presenter, Nick Baker of Nick Baker’s Weird Creatures, but Bonnie, the kids and all of the viewers. She graciously shared the stage with some of our other animal friends to make this spooky holiday simply go wild!
