Did you know European White Storks migrate between Europe and Africa every year?

Using their broad wings to ride air thermals and conserve energy, they can travel thousands of kilometers on their incredible journey.

You can see amazing birds like our European White Stork take flight during our daily Birds of Prey Flying Demonstration!

That's not the only educational presentation you don't want to miss! Be sure to check out Parrot Paradise and Wild Wonders, where you'll discover fascinating facts about the animals in our care and the conservation efforts helping protect them.

If you’ve ever wondered what a Malayan tapir sounds like, here’s your chance to find out! 📢

The whistles, squeaks, and chirps you hear are all part of how tapirs communicate. While they’re generally quiet animals, they use a variety of vocalizations to express themselves and interact with their surroundings.

Our Malayan tapir is enjoying some time in her stream, a favourite way for tapirs to stay cool! They are excellent swimmers and often spend time in and around water.

Shy by nature, tapirs spend their day hiding in the interior areas of their forested habitat - which is why she may be difficult to spot while “On Safari!”

👀Keep your eyes peeled on the left-hand side before you enter Rocky Ridge Veldt (Section 5 of our drive through Game Reserves).

Meet Dolores, our prehensile-tailed porcupine!

Native to South America, Dolores spends most of her time in the trees, using her incredible tail like a fifth limb to climb, balance, and reach her favourite foods. As she forages, she also helps spread seeds and plant material throughout her habitat.

Did you know? Porcupines can't shoot their quills, and their quills aren't poisonous or venomous! Their quills are made from the same material as your fingernails and are only released when they come into contact with something.

Want to learn more about Dolores? Catch her in our Wild Wonders presentation during your next visit "On Safari!™"

It's World Turtle Day!🐢

In the fall of 2025, African Lion Safari welcomed a cohort of baby wood turtles! These young turtles will spend their first two years growing and learning under professional care at African Lion Safari before being released back into the wild.

This conservation approach, called head-starting, gives hatchlings a boost by helping them survive the most vulnerable years, when predation risk is highest.

The wood turtle is one of Canada’s rarest freshwater turtle species. It’s at risk of extinction and coordinated conservation efforts are needed. Our animal care specialists and research biologists have been working together to support the growth and development of these baby wood turtles until their safe release, helping to save this species from further decline. 🧡

Turtles are on the move... and while they may not be breaking any speed records, they are travelling with an important mission🐢💚

Spring is an important time for Ontario’s native turtles as they begin moving in search of mates and nesting sites. Unfortunately, these seasonal journeys often mean crossing roadways, putting already declining turtle populations at risk.

You can help by slowing down and keeping an eye out for wildlife crossing the road. Small actions can make a big difference for conservation!

Stop by our Gift Shop and show your support for native turtles with a Brake for Turtles magnet!
