Meet a selection of five animals ranging from possums, lizards, snakes, reptiles, birds, and alligators. Please note that animals may differ from day to day, and while we endeavour to include as many animals in the presentation as possible, our primary responsibility is to ensure that animals and students are safe and comfortable, and we may elect to exclude an animal from the presentation at the Ranger’s discretion if it becomes distressed or agitated.
