Meet Wahoohoo🦉

Wahoohoo is one of our oldest and dearest animals. At 28 years old, she’s been with us nearly her entire life—since she was just 2 months old!

As just a baby Barred Owl, she was found alone in the mud and kept by people who didn’t realize how quickly she’d imprint on humans. By the time the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR) stepped in, she could no longer be released into the wild. Fortunately, she found a forever home with us.

For nearly three decades, Wahoohoo has been a favorite among staff and visitors alike🥰🦉

The 9-Banded Armadillo!

This armored mammal is easily recognized by the nine bands on its back. Native to the Americas, it’s a skilled digger and mostly nocturnal, feeding on insects, grubs, and small invertebrates. Though nearly blind, it has an excellent sense of smell and can even swim across rivers.

Stop in the Wolf Cabin to check them out!
