Our armadillo Wilson got a huge upgrade today, a mega-size wheel for getting his zoomies out. He jumped right on it once it was set up so I think he likes it🥰

Happy ! What a great opportunity to highlight another conservation project we are proud to be a part of, that of the endangered Massasauga Rattlesnake. Along with other partners in the AZA SAFE program, we care for an assurance population of this threatened species, which includes breeding and reintroduction into the wild.

Wait a second though - didn't we say it's world LIZARD day? Absolutely! In fact all snakes are lizards!

🦎🌍 Happy World Lizard Day! 🌍🦎

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible diversity of lizards that call our planet home! From the swift and nimble geckos to the powerful Komodo dragons, these fascinating reptiles play crucial roles in their ecosystems.

Did you know that lizards can be found on every continent except Antarctica? They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, each species uniquely adapted to its environment. Whether they’re basking in the sun or displaying their vibrant scales, lizards are a vital part of the animal kingdom.

Join us at Little Ray’s to learn more about these amazing creatures and how we can help protect their habitats! Let’s work together to ensure a future where lizards continue to thrive!🌎🦎

Do you have any lizard friends at home? Show us your photos down below in the comments!👇

🚨 Something FUN just happened at Little Ray’s Nature Center… 👀

Let’s just say… we recently welcomed FIVE adorable new rescue animals to our family! ❤️🏡

These little cuties came to us from a rescue organization, and we couldn’t be more excited to give them a forever home. They’re settling in behind the scenes, getting lots of love, care, and time to adjust before they make their public debut.

Any guesses what they might be? 🤔
🐾 Furry?
🦎 Scaly?
🪶 Feathered?

We’re keeping this one a secret… for now! 🤫

We will be offering super fun and educational encounters with these cuties soon!! 🥳💕

Drop your guesses in the comments, and stay tuned for the reveal! We promise it’ll be worth the wait! 🎉
