Breeding Success -- Safari West is committed to the management of captive populations to support wild populations, and has put significant effort and commitment into the conservation of many species living here. Animals are supplied with healthy diets that simulate the nutrients that they consume in the wild. Gleaning the most up-to-date information from zoo nutritionists, the animal management staff is constantly improving diets to meet the wild inhabitant's nutritional needs in a manner that best supports reproduction. "To allow our animals to exhibit naturalistic behaviors, including reproduction, we make every attempt to provide our wildlife with the most naturalistic settings possible. This includes multi-acre habitats, wooded areas, streams, and ponds," says Nancy Lang, Ph.D.

So load the camera, bring the zoom, and get ready to celebrate these true miracles of nature. Stop by soon, kids grow up so fast these days!
