Meet Animal Junction's fascinating friends that live in the world's wildest places – hot jungles, wooded forests, dry deserts, grassy prairies, wet rainforests and other unusual habitats. We have more than 50 different species of exotic animals. We will decide which animals would best support your event.

We select our animals and particular breeds for a variety of reasons, with education and interaction the top priorities. We chose Egyptian fruit bats, for example, because, contrary to popular myth, they are not blind and actually can see very well. Fennec foxes provide lessons on adaptation in hot, arid climates. Each of our animals has its own lesson to teach. Audiences will learn about animals that eat only bugs (insectivores), plants (herbivores), fruit (frugivores), meat (carnivores) and those who eat all of the above (omnivores).
