Kids will learn why it is not nice to hit or tap the back of a tortoise and why to treat the shell with care.

Tortoises are intelligent animals and they can form bonds with humans. Just like we humans, tortoises love some attention as well. Make sure you give them their treat and maybe they would want to pose for a picture with you.

An excited tortoise will move fast towards what has its attention. So if you spot one ‘running’ towards you, you will know it wants to be your friend.

You will get to touch them, observe them closely, see how they play and interact between themselves as well as have a chat with the handlers.

Caracal/ Serval Interaction - 15 minutes with the Caracal/ Serval and their handlers

• Height Restriction: at least 1m45
• Age Restriction: 10 years and above
• Activity Times: 09h15 - 16h15 (activity not offered on Sundays)

About the Caracal: The name Caracal is derived from the Turkish word “karakulak” meaning “black ear.” It is the largest member of Africa’s small cats, and it is most formidable. Often referred to as the desert lynx, the Caracal does not possess the same physical attributes of members of the lynx family, such as the characteristic ruff of hair around the face. Caracal has a short, dense coat, usually a consistent tawny-brown to brick-red, and black individuals have been recorded. Males can weigh as much as 40 pounds, and females as much as 35.

About the Serval: Native to Africa, the Serval is a medium-sized cat with incredibly long legs for its size. If you caught a quick glimpse of it, you’d mistake it for a small cheetah. Its huge ears and short tail, coupled with its spotted fur add to its unique look. Their bite is up to 3 times more forceful than an average housecat. These creatures are very shy, so count this as a very unique experience to get up close.

About the Cheetah: Meet the world’s fastest land animal- the cheetah! These elegant and graceful mammals, part of the Big Cat family, are an endangered species in the African bush. Cheetahs are a unique and specialised member of the cat family. Being the world’s fastest land animal, it can reach tremendous speeds between 80 – 112 km/h (50- 70 mph). This is because, unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body and longer legs. Unlike lions, cheetahs cannot roar, but they purr instead.
