| The use of educational animals in our
programs enhances the learning experience and provides the audience with
an up close view of these magnificent animals. All of Flint Creek
Wildlife's educational animals are non-releasable because they wouldn't
be able to survive in the wild due to the nature of their injuries.
They now have a second chance at life here at Flint Creek Wildlife. |
