Did you know it’s easy to create your own backyard habitat by simply re-using (up-cycling) some things you may already have around? 😃
•
Join Zovargo on 10/6 from 9-11am at Marian Bear Park for a FREE event where we provide you with supplies to make your own backyard habitat that’s friendly for local wildlife! We’ll be making bird houses, feeders, and so much more! 🦋🐛🦢🕊🐿

It’s Sheila!!! She’s our famous bearded dragon ambassador. 🐉 These pics are when Sheila was little, but she’s still just as cute as an older dragon. ❤️

🦕 Do dinosaurs smile? We think so! 😃

This is Little Foot, our Saharan Uromastyx lizard ambassador. This angle makes it seem like he’s holding a little grin. A crazy, fun fact is that this animal is completely vegetarian. Pretty neat!

We certainly don’t post enough of this charismatic quail! 😃 Folks, this is Quentin. While he may look like a California Quail, he’s a Gambel’s Quail. Swipe to see a funny comparison when he visited a local school classroom (we found the CA quail on a book)! Can you spot the differences?

How can one not love this face? ❤️

Tortuga, one of our tortoise ambassadors, is about thirty years old and still has more years to go! Russian tortoises are known to be small, tough, and long lived (with proper care). It’s hard to believe that he was once lost and wandering the streets of Los Angeles. When he was found no owner came looking for him. Animals like Tortuga may seem easy to care for, but they are a very long commitment to be prepared for. 🐢

Guinea Pigs are magical creatures. ✨ Seriously! Capable of healing, diagnosing illness, and feeding cultures; this little animal is quite amazing. 🐾
Biscuit has been meeting kids and melting hearts since our very first zovargo program. We could never imagine not having this little man around. Thankfully, he’s got several more years because guinea pigs can live 10+ years with the proper care. We love our ambassador biscuit the guinea pig.

This precious girl has been a star ambassador for years and we love her dearly! Quail are such underrated birds and deserve all the love and praise as they play an important role in the food chain and in the lives of humans. .
Zeta is an Italian quail and was born not afraid of people or phased by anything. She was donated to us because she’s so unique as most quail are very different (fearful, easily frightened). Quail normally live in family groups called a covey. Zeta is part of our “Zovargo covey.”😃❤️

Snakes like Gabe, our rosy boa ambassador, are so important to many ecosystems across the globe! These animals play a critical role in helping balance out the rodent population by eating up to several hundred rodents each year. .
.
🐍
Gabe is a rosy boa species that’s native to Southern California. He was raised in captivity and donated to Zovargo many years ago. He’s been a great ambassador that helps to educate the community on how important snakes truly are! ❤️

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!
