Meet Leo, the Bengal Cat. He is an important ambassador for ALL wild cat species! Recently, Leo was showing signs he's not feeling well. He spent more than a day in critical care and was was diagnosed with pancreatitis. His road to recovery is not an easy one and we aren't quite free from the possibility of lymphoma. Please click the picture to see detailed updates and to donate toward his recovery.

Zovargo provided an interactive Reptile Show for the Shoppes at Carlsbad in September 2018. To help promote our special Creature Encounter, we visited Fox 5 to spread the word and preview some of our animals!

“I may be beautiful, but I’m one of the hardest reptiles to care for. Creating my habitat in your home requires creating a place where it rains every few hours, is humid, and has all the proper lighting I need. That’s pretty challenging to do in your living room. Please do your research before making me your pet.” -Dimitri

“It may be fun to catch my wild frog friends, but they actually don’t appreciate the attention. Us frogs use our skin for drinking water and when you touch us, we can absorb some of those germs, sunscreen, or any other things you have on your hands! Appreciate us by taking pictures only - thank you!” -Edgar

“I may be a great pet, but do you really know what it takes to care for me? I need Vitamin C everyday, I can’t eat fruit often or I will get sick, and I also need fresh hay every day! Check out @weecompanions for their care guide to learn all the things us little pigs need!” -Biscuit

Zovargo did an amazing job in my 2nd grade classroom of 22 students. They were informative, engaging, and fun! We had been learning about the rainforest, so being able to see and touch some of these creatures was really a great way to connect it to our learning...The kids were buzzing about the presentation all day as well as the next few days!
