Curie the Common Raven
There is nothing “common” about our Raven! We do not know her full history, but Curry was likely captured at a young age and imprinted on humans. She came to Turtle Bay in October 2014 and is named after famed French scientist, Marie Curie. Check out Curie and her incredible intellect as she solves problems, distinguishes colors, and more at an upcoming Animal Show!
Tumbleweed the CA Desert Tortoise
Tumbleweed joined the Turtle Bay family in 2023. She hales from Arizona and is a young 20 years old, since her species can live to be 100 in human care! We are looking forward to learning even more about tortoises like Tumbleweed during her long life with us!
Whisper the Bobcat
Whisper the Bobcat was found at 1 week old near an oil rig in Kansas. Workers placed her in the nearby woods, hoping her mother would find her, but the next morning she was back at the rig. The local zoo saved her from being euthanized and sent her to Turtle Bay to serve as an important species Ambassador.
Mischief the Raccoon
Mischief came to Turtle Bay after someone took him from the wild and attempted to raise him in their home. They quickly realized raccoons, while smart and friendly, do not make great pets. Since he had imprinted on humans, he was sent to live at Turtle Bay. He now appears frequently in our live animal programs, showing off his intelligence and charm!
Loki the Red Fox
Loki is our fun-loving and energetic red fox! He was found as an orphan in 2011 at only 4 weeks old. As an invasive species, he could not be released back into the wild, so he joined us here at Turtle Bay and was raised by our animal trainers!
Blossom the Skunk
At 4 weeks old, hikers found Blossom wandering alone on a nearby trail. They did the right thing, putting her in a box turned it on its side and waiting overnight for the mother to return. When she did not, Blossom was taken to a rehab center and eventually came to Turtle Bay. Blossom does a great job serving as an Ambassador for her species, educating the public about her unique natural behaviors.
