Training can come in all types and forms at the zoo. Training is so important for many reasons, like maintaining mental stimulation, making husbandry easier, and for out reach programs. Sometimes the most important training is just getting them used to all kinds of sites and sounds.

Meet Frankie! He is a young African Crested porcupine who is growing and learning quickly. His trainers decided he needed a change of scenery since his training was going so well so it seemed like a fun trip was in order. Frankie got to see all the parts of the zoo and learn how to drive. Here are some adorable pictures of Frankie the Porcupine, one of North Georgia Zoos many animal ambassadors.

  It is with a heavy heart we are letting our fellow friends, supporters and wolf lovers know that Lotsee, one of our original wolf pack members has passed. Born February 15th, 2000; Lotsee lived a good life around people & wolves that cared for her. She passed peacefully in her sleep at the ripe old age of 16. Her kind face and sweet disposition will be missed by all.
 
Please fee free to comment with your stories, pictures and memories you may have had with Lotsee!


A wolf howl Lotsee Memorial Fund will be set up on Go Fund Me. (gofundme.com/hervcwqw) Funding will go toward a future wolf howl platform and deck. Lotsee loved being an ambassador for her wild cousins and we are certain she would love to know her memory is creating more ways for others to get up close and personal with her wolf ambassador friends. To create new connections and opportunities to create respect, awe, educate and awareness of these majestic but often misunderstood creatures.
