Wildlife Facts. Did you know?

Lions

Lions sleep for 15-20 hours a day! They are nocturnal animals and need plenty of rest to help them hunt and get through their days.

Baby Elephants

Baby elephants suck their trunks. Just like a newborn human sucks their thumb for comfort, baby elephants suck their trunks.

Giraffes

A Giraffe has a blue tongue. Aside from all of their other unusual features, they are equipped with blue tongues too.

Ostrich

An ostrich can run more than 40 miles in one hour! They have elasticity in their joints which allows them to run at such high speeds.
