Conservation
Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp exhibits wild animals, many of which have been rescued and would not survive if released. Much of Northern California's natural beauty is in its widespread forests. Forests provide habitat for many of these creatures. Turtle Bay celebrates the relationship between these magnificent forests and the animals that live there. Through forestry and animal education guests will experience the close relationships we all have to our environment.
Meet the animals!
Here are just a few of the animal stars you'll meet at Turtle Bay.
Spike, our North American porcupine, arrived in January!
Spike was born at the Houston Zoo on March 29, 2003 and is now a permanent resident at Turtle Bay. Spike has a very gentle disposition and can be seen in the Walk on the Wild Side Animal Show throughout the summer.
Ned, the Black vulture, would find his meals in the wild by following Turkey vultures to their meals! Black vultures can be found throughout the southeastern U.S. with great numbers in Florida and down into Central and South America. Ned is a member of the Walk on the Wild Side Animal Show cast.
