Jabuti is an ambassador animal part of the Zoo's Education Department. She is a favorite of many staff members and docents! Red-footed tortoises are found in South America from Panama to Argentina. They play an important role in survival of plant species because as they eat plant matter, they defecate the seeds which helps the spread of new growth. Jabuti enjoys spending time out on zoo grounds and her favorite treat to munch on is dandelions!

Timmy is the oldest animal in the Zoo's Education collection (and one of the oldest animals in the zoo!). He turned 47 this year... and for a box turtle, that's only middle-aged! Box turtles have been known to reach 100 years old! Timmy has reddish orange eyes, while females have grayish brown or dark red eyes. Eastern Box Turtles live across much of the eastern half of the United States; meaning you could see one in your own backyard!

Tamari was our 11-year-old female Amur tiger who passed away in June 2019. She enjoyed swimming when no one was watching and hiding in the bushy parts of her exhibit. She was a very particular cat and she only took a liking to a few of our keepers. When the lions would make their morning roars, Tamari would join in on the fun.

Available in multiple colors. Colors will vary depending on availability.

Our capuchin group is made up of 5 individuals. Our dominant male Snarf and "co-pilot" Chip make most of the art, but our 3 females Jasper, PJ, and Lupita also enjoy painting. They are given a paint brush and get quite creative.

Pearl is a 3-year-old porcupine who lives in the Education department. Since Pearl was hand-raised, she loves to be around people. Her hobbies include chewing on branches, being adorable and climbing around her enclosures. Pearl loves to spend time outside and look for every possible pinecone to munch on. There was a bit of a learning curve with painting because her quills kept smudging everything. Pearl loved it and thought it was "abstract art". Eventually, she got the hang of it and made some cute footprints!

Capybara are the world's largest rodent species and the Zoo has two! Half-sisters Rosie and Siren reside in the wetlands exhibit of the M&T Bank Rainforest Falls. They enjoy eating corn and basking in the sun.

Our tamanduas currently live behind the scenes while we make space for a new area. At 91 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius), tamanduas have one of the lowest body temperatures of any active land mammal.

Our anaconda here at the Buffalo Zoo is named Ana. Pretty original, huh? She is over 11 feet 10 inches long and weighs about 80 pounds. When Ana sheds, it means she is continuing to grow. We will take that shed, dry it out and create art with it like the piece you have purchased here!

Our saki monkey group is composed of mom Katrina, dad Maracaibo, and son Argyle. Females look different from the males. Katrina is a pretty cocoa shade, while males have black hair with a distinct white rim of hair around their face, hence their name White-faced saki monkey.

Lusaka is our 10-year-old female lion. She is the mother to the three cubs born here at the Buffalo Zoo. Lusaka enjoys anything to do with food and is a very motivated animal when it comes to training. She works very hard for a food reward!

There are five African lions in residence at the Buffalo Zoo. We get prints of their feet during their annual physical. When you visit the Zoo you will most likely see the lions napping since these cats can sleep up to 20 hours a day.

Colors will vary depending on availability.

The gorilla troop which of six members who all participate in painting. Each one paints in their own special way. Some like to make fingerprints, some prefer to do streaks, some even eat the paint (non toxic paint is used for painting)! All the gorillas enjoy painting sessions and even end up wearing the paint on occasion.

Colors will vary depending on availability.

Here at the Buffalo zoo we have six caiman. They are given a physical every two years, which is when we are able to make art with them. They are quite feisty!

Here at the Zoo, we feed a lot of veggies to our animals. We decided to have some fun with the veggies and here is a painting perfect for your kitchen to remind you of our Zoo!

Fresh produce is delivered twice a week for our animals. We go through hundreds of pounds of food each week. For example, we feed about 150 heads of romaine, 50 pounds of carrots, 2 cases of apples, and a case of celery each week, among many other fruits, vegetables, and greens. We offer novelty fruits and vegetables for our animals such as melons, strawberries, and squash.

Candyann is 20 years old now, wow time flies! Candy is a cross between a Mammoth Donkey (father) and Standardbred horse (mother). Since she is a cross between two species this makes her sterile due to the odd number of chromosomes she has. Back in the canal days, Candy would have been used to tow boats along the canal and plow fields for planting. Today, Candy enjoys grazing in the pasture, jumping over poles while training with her keeper and greeting everyone who comes to the farm with a loud bray!

Charlie is one of the sweetest sheep you will ever meet! His outgoing and friendly personality makes him a great ambassador animal especially for our young guests. Charlie is the only one of our four sheep that has some black wool on his face and legs. Dark wool is a recessive trait for Babydoll Southtown sheep. Babydolls are an old English breed that you don't see as often anymore as the Southdown breed was developed to be larger for meat production. The breed can be used for meat or wool. Our sheep are shorn every Spring so they stay as comfortable as possible throughout the Summer.

The Dominique is said to be America's oldest chicken breed and they're pretty great artists at our Zoo!

Much like the city of Darwin in Australia, our Blue-tongued Skink loves the sunshine! He likes to bask under his light in the Education Department. Darwin enjoys going on programs and showing off his blue tongue (and no he doesn't eat blue popsicles!). The blue color of his tongue is thought to scare away predators. His hobbies include burrowing in his mulch and seeking out super worms.

Flash, named after a popular Disney movie character has been a crowd favorite since he arrived at the Zoo in 2018. Sloths do almost everything upside down including: sleeping, eating, mating and giving birth. However, they do shimmy down the tree to go to the bathroom approximately once a week in the wild. It is common to even see green algae growing on a sloth's back in South America due to how slow they move. Flash enjoys sleeping of course but when he's awake, he is on the move eating his greens or training with one of his keepers.

Josie and Daphne came to us a little over a year ago from a farm in Boston, NY. They are half-sisters (same father) and both came from litters of triplets. Josie is the dominant one around the farm but lets Daphne take the lead when out for walks around zoo grounds. Goats are browsers, not grazers so they favor eating leaves off the low tree branches and bushes compared to the grass. Both goats enjoy climbing on their playset in the pasture, training with their keepers and getting scratches on their neck.

Tyson the turkey is the king of the farm. He lives in the Heritage Farm and loves showing off his beautiful feathers to all the children that visit. You can often see him out in the barn in the morning exploring and making sure his keepers are cleaning properly. Tyson is a very polite king and will always reply "excuse you (gobble gobble)" when you sneeze at the farm.

Bindi is a boisterous and charismatic bird who puts on quite the show! Kookaburras are from Australia and are known for their laugh-like call. In the wild they are monogamous and nest in tree holes where older siblings help care for the young. As part of the Zoo's Education Department Bindi shares her message about conservation through demonstrations and school programs; including "virtual" ones today! In her spare time Bindi enjoys time outside foraging for bugs.

Chuckwallas do not drink water directly from a water source, but get most of their liquid from their
food. They will drink from puddles after a storm.

The endangered Chinese crocodile lizard is the last surviving species of its genus and family, which dates back more than 100 million years. They also love painting at the Zoo!

Not monsters at all, Gila monsters are one of the few species of venomous lizards on the planet. These carnivores are classified as near threatened, and they are native to Arizona, California and Mexico. Our Gila really enjoys painting!

Pancake tortoises get their name from their extremely flat shells. Multiple shell openings make this tortoise much more agile than some of its cousins!

The rainforest is home to a variety of birds including roseated spoonbills, boat-billed herons, cattle egrets, sunbitterns, and some more heron species. These birds tend to hang out in the canopy layer of the rainforest.

Our macaws are named Gracie and Skootz. Skootz is over 30 years old, while Gracie turned 16 this year. Macaws can mimic behaviors and sounds they observe from us. For example, when walking through the rainforest building, you may be greeted by Gracie saying "peekaboo" or "hello".

Haji's favorite snacks are avocados and banana. Maria, one of the newest additions in Rainforest Falls enjoys mealworms and avocado too!

Our current howler monkey group is made up of Lily and Jasper. Jasper is only 5 years old and came to use at the end of 2019. She is quite rambunctious and keeps our older howler monkey lily on her toes. Lily is 19 years old in November and that is about middle aged for this species.

Because sidewinders move in such an odd way, they leave very odd tracks in the sand that look almost like the letter 'J'. You may notice some J's in their artwork!

Rattlesnakes are large, venomous snakes that are found throughout North and South America. The greatest concentration of them is in the Southwestern United States and in Northern Mexico. Arizona is home to 13 species of rattler, more than any other state. There are 29 different species of rattlesnakes in the world.

Our anaconda here at the Buffalo Zoo is named Ana. Pretty original, huh? She is over 11 feet 10 inches long and weighs about 80 pounds. She is fed about once a month and also sheds within that range. When Ana sheds, it means that she is continuing to grow. We will take that shed, dry it out and create art with it like the piece you have purchased here!
