The single largest part of the park, this area is home to some of the largest and most impressive animals Florida has to offer!
at the beginning, we have two aviaries for Woodsward Eagle and Peregrine Falcon.
and then we have the Small animal house,
Home to various small critters, including American Burying Beetles and Florida Jackrabbits!

Most animals here are rescues, however, a fair number of animals (Wolves, Lions, Bears, Bison, Burros, etc.) are part of a breeding program due to their status and either Endangered or Locally Extirpated
(All silhouettes belong to their respective owners, thought the Mammoth, Wolf, Bear, and Lion, are based off of my own artwork!)
