A few of our many teenage raccoons enjoying the top shelf of their new big cage!
This is how big a baby raccoon is at one week. He doesn't even have stripes on his tail yet!
This is Sasha. Have you ever seen a more pathetic squirrel? She was found in a park with 4 broken legs. Our vet had to order special casting material that she couldn't chew off! She is fully recovered now and jumps around like nothing ever happened.
This gray fox is one of several we've had over the past couple years. We have two types of fox in this area, gray and red. The gray fox are more like cats and the red fox are more closely related to dogs. Both have red and gray markings, so depending on what age they are, they can be hard to tell apart.
And this is what a free-tail bat butt looks like - isn't it cute? See how the tail looks just like a mouse tail?

These
are some of the animals that have come through our doors. Clockwise from top
left they are: Felix the red fox, Ariel the river otter, April the raccoon with
the broken leg, and Ollie Opossum. Look below to see more residents!
This
is another one of the free-tailed bats we raised. They suck milk from
sponges they latch onto until they can eat mealworms on their own. You can see
how small he is compared to the quarter next to him!
Bats!! This is one of the 25 baby Mexican free-tail bats we helped raise one summer. You can see him stretching his wing and another peeking out from the
t-shirt they "hang out" in. This one doesn't have much fur yet,
but they were very fuzzy when they were released!

This
is one of the many squirrels we've gotten this year. This one is a Souther
Flying Squirrel. Believe it or not,
baby squirrel season peaks in September, not spring.
