🦙FUN FACT FRIDAY!🦙

Did you know a baby llama is called a Cria?

Mama llamas are pregnant for almost 350 DAYS! 🤯 That’s nearly a whole year of waiting for their little bundle of fluff to arrive! 🍼🦙

And those babies? They weigh around 20–35 pounds at birth!

Twins are also super rare, so mama llamas usually have just one cria at a time!

We are OPEN, Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm!

😂🐦 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 🐦😂

Did you know kookaburras are known for their laughing call? 🤣

These birds are early risers, and their loud, laugh-like calls can often be heard in the early morning. It almost sounds like they're sharing a joke with the whole neighborhood!

Ever heard a kookaburra laugh? It's definitely a sound you won't forget!

Come visit our kookaburras at Wendt's Wildlife Adventure!

We are OPEN Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm!
