As you can imagine with so many different kinds of animals in such close proximity, our animals create a lot of drama and uncomfortable situations for themselves and our staff. As time has gone on we have found the best way to deal with these situations are to exploit them and capture them on video. We have a crack media team that promptly puts these "Telenovelas" as we call them on youtube. Enjoy!

Did you ever want to read your girl friends diary, find out what she is really thinking? How about a lonely animal in a petting zoo? Well luckily for you animals can't clean up after themselves and make a huge animal mess. Once a month we clean out their habitats and sometimes find sensitive material we are more than happy to share with friends of the petting zoo. Enjoy!

Carl recived his BFA in1998. Some said he was a genius, others said he was a jackass. None the less we are fortunate to share his latest works with you.

Each year we close down the petting zoo for one day to celebrate our bread and butter, the animals. We throw open the doors to the habitats and let the good times roll. We provide plenty of fermented fruit for-everyone. Here are pictures from last year's festivities.

Each summer the animals of the pettingzoo.org collaborate to put together a leacture series. Each year it falls apart missarably. However this year the animals insist they have their shit together.
