Asian Small-Clawed Otter These otters occur around rivers and coastal waters across Asia and live in family groups of up to 12 animals. They are very vocal, with calls ranging from mewing like a cat to high-pitched whistling. They feed on all sorts of meat including mussels, crabs, snails and small fish. Asiatic Lion Asiatic lions live in a small, isolated population in the Gir Forest in India. Due to their geographic isolation, they are extremely vulnerable to disease outbreak or habitat loss. Both in the wild and in captivity, Asiatic lions will sleep for up to 22 hours a day - this means they have plenty of energy to reach speeds of up to 35mph when they need to. Bactrian Camel Bactrian camels originate from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, making them well adapted to some very extreme weathers! They can survive in heat of +40 degrees or -50 degrees, and store fat in their humps instead of water. This fat can then be converted to energy for the camels when food in the desert is scarce. Bali Starling The Bali starling is one of the rarest birds in the world and have become incredibly close to extinction in their wild habitat in Bali. It has been estimated that there are fewer than 50 of them left in the wild due to habitat destruction and the illegal pet trade. Bat Fruit Bats occur in a variety of habitats, from lowlands to mountains. They rest in ancient tombs and temples, rock crevices, garden trees and date plantations, but are most common in caves. Contrary to popular belief, they do not suck blood or get tangled in peoples' hair! Binturong Also known as the Bearcat, this mainly solitary civet is only one of two carnivores with a prehensile tail, and a gland under their tail secretes a scent that smells of popcorn. They are listed as Vulnerable due to trapping for the pet trade and are often eaten as a delicacy by locals. Brazilian Tapir Despite their unusual appearance, tapirs are most closely related to rhinos and horses! They prefer to live in rainforest areas close to water and can use their prehensile nose as a snorkel when swimming. Capybara Capybaras are abundant in South America, living in large family groups of up to 100 in the wild! They are the largest animals of the rodent family and have very sizeable teeth that are constantly growing. To make sure they file their long teeth down to a manageable size, we feed them big chunks of hard root vegetables as well as twigs and branches so they can chew the bark. Chapmans Zebra A group of zebras is known as a 'dazzle' and is beneficial to zebras as predators cannot differentiate individuals within the group. This means they have safety in numbers and are at less risk of predation when on the plains of Africa. Clouded Leopard This species is native to Southeast Asia and can be found in trees of the rainforests. Their long tail helps them move around in the trees with great agility in their habitat. The Clouded Leopard has the longest canines in relation to its size than any other cat, measuring up to 4cm. Colobus Monkey Native to Africa, Colobus Monkeys live in territorial groups of about nine individuals, based upon a single male with several females and their offspring. Newborn Colobus Monkeys are completely white and will not get their black and white markings until they are a few months old. Crowned Sifaka Crowned Sifaka are a critically endangered species of lemur, originating from the West of Madagascar. They are known for their bizarre way of moving; they hop on two legs rather than walking on all fours, earning them the nickname of the 'dancing lemur'! There are 37 adoptions for this category.
