What better way to celebrate than by drinking water in true cat form while lion around 😝? Why get up when you don’t need to? Cliff thinks it’s the only way to drink water! Happy World Lion Day from our handsome mountain lion Cliff 💕

Meet our new baby opossum, Gizmo! Gizmo came to us a little over a week ago in very bad shape. He was emaciated and anemic from being completely covered in fleas and left on his own at too young of an age. Luckily someone found him and got him to us just in time. He’s been recovering wonderfully, is gaining weight, and is finally getting pink back in his nose and toes. Gizmo will serve as an animal ambassador for his species and teach everyone about the importance of opossums.

08/09/2021

Happy from our four fabulous feline friends! Bobby, Boxer, Thunder, and Cliff all hope you spent the day they would whether it be playing with a friend, eating your favorite food, looking stunning, or taking a nice cat nap. Happy Sunday everyone!

An update on our sweet Boxer: After getting another steroid injection to boost his appetite and help with his breathing, Boxer is feeling a little better today. He is being brought into our air conditioned office space every day during the day to escape the heat and then gets to go home to be with his best friend Thunder at night. We know from last time that this will be a long uphill battle, but are optimistic that he will pull through again.

We need your help. Boxer needs your help. We need your donations so we can keep bringing Boxer to the vet and continue giving him the care he deserves. And we all know Boxer deserves the best. Please donate through our website www.natureofwildworks.org/donate

And for all of you on Instagram, enjoy Cliff and his handsomeness 🥰

Mondays certainly call for a little bit of Murray! that Murray’s teeth grow 1/16 of an inch every week? Because of this he needs to be provided with lots of things to chew so they don’t get too long. Did you also know that you can donate things to Murray from our Amazon wishlist? He has quite a few chew toys as well as rodent blocks that he would love to receive in the mail! Who doesn’t love to receive presents in the mail? https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/2RVR8YSSHRCM/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl

08/02/2021

It’s with the handsome Brush! Brush has truly been coming out of his shell allowing all of his caretakers to give him pets and play with him. We love seeing this happy playful side of Brush!

Zeke & Zack heard it’s so we had to share one of our favorite videos of an avocado snack session!

07/30/2021

Happy from Boxer and Thunder Kitty. Boxer has been going through another bad phase of his histoplasmosis, but with the help of his caretakers and best friend Thunder, we believe he will pull through again. Thunder Kitty does his best in taking care of Boxer by providing snuggles and kisses whenever needed, but he would like to ask for your help too. Boxer has had multiple vet visits in the past few weeks and is needing to go in for weekly injections. Please help this beautiful friendship continue by going to our website www.natureofwildworks.org and donating to Boxer’s recovery.

Sassy fox enjoys morning nose boops and verbal confirmation of just how cute she is, how do you start your day?

07/28/2021

Just a cute video of Murray munching on a peanut to help you get through your ☺️ Murray is growing fast! Since groundhogs go through a true hibernation during the winter, they use the summer months to pack on the pounds to get them through their hibernation where their respiratory rate will go as low as two breaths a minute and their heartbeat goes from 80 beats per minute to 5 beats per minute.

Sydney wanted to pop in and say hello! that cockatiels are excellent whistlers? While they can learn a limited amount of words, they can learn to whistle an entire song!

07/27/2021

Whoever last used this towel must have been really stinky and Spring is loving it 😂 : foxes have scent glands around their chin and jaw which they use to communicate to other animals that they have been there. They will also roll in stinky scents to try and mask their own scent. Which behavior do you think Spring is demonstrating here?

07/26/2021

Boxer looks so handsome out for a amongst the flowers. Who else enjoys a nice nature walk on the weekend?

07/25/2021

Happy from Bobby! Make sure to boop his snoot with a heart.

07/24/2021

A little cool down with Cliff! Sound on to hear his ruff tongue work at removing all the yummy baby food from his popsicle. : the tiny spines on a cat’s tongue known as papillae, are made of keratin just like humans’ finger nails.

07/23/2021

The Wildworks business of ferrets here for reminding everyone to keep hydrated in the summer heat. Did you know a group of ferrets is called a business? We think it should be funny business, no way are ferrets serious enough to join corporate. Other about ferret names include: a male is referred to as a “hob,” while a female is called a “jill.” Other terms for ferrets would be “sprite” for a fixed female & “gib” or “hoblet” refers to a fixed male.

07/22/2021

Luckily we can still give you daily posts of our wonderful animals through our Instagram! We will keep you updated an let you know when we are up and running again.

Sassy thinks Monday’s are for napping and we agree! Red foxes are crepuscular which means they are active during dawn and dusk, but in areas with higher human populations have been known to be more nocturnal, meaning active at night.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood! Murray the Groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, enjoyed chewing on a chew stick just like the ones sold at the pet store for hamsters & guinea pigs. These chew sticks are an important part of Murray’s care, as a rodent he has ever growing teeth. Therefore he needs to chew tough items to keep his teeth at a healthy length.

07/18/2021

Sound on to hear Cliff’s call to Mollie! He loves when his Mom comes to visit & always responds with his vocalization he’s made since he was a young cub.

07/17/2021

Serena the Rosy Boa here to wish you a happy today! Did you know the Rosy Boa like Serena is one of only two species of Boa found native to the United States? Rosy Boas have a native range from the Southwestern United States down into parts of Mexico.

Thunder looking handsome. Bobcats like Thunder have the scientific name Lynx rufus and are sometimes referred to as Bay Lynx, Lynx cat, or wildcat. The name Bobcat comes from the naturally short “bobbed” tail.

07/14/2021

Soldier Bear & Tumbleweed are enjoying the slight cool down in the weather here. Stretching out to enjoy a nice summer day is their preferred Tuesday plans, how bout you?

Murray has a wish this #WishlistWednesday for rodent blocks and rodent chew toys. #DidYouKnow that rodents, like Murray, have teeth that continuously grow their entire lives? This is why they need to chew hard materials, like his rodent block and chew toys, so that his teeth do not grow too long which can lead to an array of health issues. Thanks for helping us keep Murray’s teeth nice and healthy! Also don’t forget to turn your sound on for some adorable Murray munching noises!

Yummm Sunny loves his banana! #DidYouKnow that almost all macaw species are either threatened, critically endangered, or extinct? This is why Sunny’s job as an animal ambassador is so important! He teaches people the value of these birds’ roles in the rainforest and teaches people why they might not make the best pets, and if you do choose to get one as a pet, do your research and adopt one responsibly. The illegal pet trade is one of the biggest reasons why their numbers are struggling in the wild. . . . . . . #natureofwildworks #thenatureofwildworks #parrot #macaw #didyouknowfacts #wildlifeeducation #parrots #parrotsofinstagram #macawsofinstagram #blueandyellowmacaw #blueandgoldmacaw #sunny #wildlifeconservation #protectwhatyoulove #conservation #rescue #animalrescue #birdsofinstagram
