Our Primates and other small animals

Our primates and other small animals are considered in the small animal internship. There are aprox, 300 animals and 61 species in this area. This is the highest area of the park for disinfections and is done daily along with proper zoo formulated foods and strict diets. Enrichment is the most important part of this area as required by the USDA and we here at the park have a great Plan in effect which gives the animals of this area something new every day.

Big Cat Internship

This is one the most dangerous position of the park and we will not employee of take volunteers for this area who can not follow rules and conduct themselves in the highest manor of professionalism Possible.

Some of these cats have been taken out of the worst of the worst environments possible. Just as PETA would have you to believe this lion is dangerous, yes he is but what they failed to tell the American public is he was shot with over 172 BB's by his previous owners.

In this area you will be in care for over 165 big cats which requires a lot of time, skill and patients. All of our cats are fed a strict diet made up by our vet of fresh raw meat and the best dry vitamins you can buy.

All big cats are fed daily, in the morning and are fasted one day per week. On the fasting day they receive bones to chew on and enrichment for the big cats are changed weekly.

NO ONE  Is allowed to enter a cage with any of the big cats. every cage is equipped with a lock out area so there is never a reason for the animal to be stressed or you put in danger.

While you are in training you are NEVER to lock or unlock cages!

While cleaning the cage all rules apply to how clean they are to be applies to every animal on this park.

During the warm months of the year in Oklahoma anytime it is over 75 degrees we change water for our cats and bears 5 times during light hours one time after dark

under 75 degrees the water is changed 3 times per day
