OUR ANIMALS

MEET THE RESIDENTS OF TWIN PINE

SUMMER CAMP & PRIVATE TOURS

At TPFECF, our animal residents represent a unique and diverse collection of rare and exotic species from around the world. Many are part of ongoing conservation breeding programs, scientific research initiatives, or serve as ambassadors in our educational outreach.

 

Each animal in our care receives specialized attention—including species-specific diets, species specific designed habitats, and enrichment that supports natural behaviors and overall well-being.

 

We are proud to share these incredible animals with the public through immersive learning opportunities. Private tours are currently available by appointment, offering an up-close experience with our animals and their caretakers. Summer camps and other seasonal programs will soon be offered to engage and inspire the next generation of wildlife stewards.

 

Come discover the wild world of TPFECF—where conservation meets connection.

Lemurs

We house red ruffed and black & white ruffed Lemurs. They are endemic to the island of Madagascar. Most existing lemurs are small, have a pointed snout, large eyes, and a long tail. They chiefly live in trees and are active at night. Lemurs share resemblance with other primates, but evolved independently from monkeys and apes. Due to Madagascar's highly seasonal climate, lemur evolution has produced a level of species diversity rivaling that of any other primate group.
