All other shows and presentations at this event are free. Even the animals enjoy walking about during the Spring Spectacular. This two year old canid who just celebrated her birthday on February 1st was found by a local horseback rider and was mistaken for a German Shepherd puppy. Much to his surprise after a visit to a veterinarian he had just removed a coyote from the wild. Being a responsible person, this horseback rider phoned us right away.
Coyotes inhabit the desert and mountain regions from Alaska to New England and south thru Mexico.
They also find homes in hilly grassy areas, which makes the wilds of Moorpark an ideal home for a coyote. She is an exceptional coyote. She has adapted so well to living in this zoo setting, it makes me so happy to see such a pleasant ending to such an uncertain beginning.
