The Zoo is settled upon 29 acres of tropical savanna and exhibits over 125 animals all native to the country. The zoo keeps animals which were either orphaned, born at the zoo, rehabilitated animals, or sent to there as gifts from other zoological institutions. There are also houses and pastures for the horses, burros, goats, rabbits, ducks, owls, peacocks, and geese. An intern's work runs 8am-5pm and involves feeding cleaning runs and cages, exercising and training, grooming, and lots of cuddling and playing. Terrain is hilly and wooded.
Volunteers help out in a variety of areas.
The Garden is set up for conservation purposes only. Biology background and people skills are helpful. Housing and food provided - live at garden itself, or with the owners, Jim and Marta. Internships for those interested in veterinary medicine and working with animals. Room and board in exchange for work.
