The Zoological Wildlife Foundation can now provide various exotic animals—from anteaters to zebras—for interaction with guests. The zoo has 20 different species available, including reptiles, warthogs, capuchin monkeys, and big cats. Many, like the white-handed gibbon, will even pose for photos, though larger animals may need to be held by handlers or stay in a cage during appearances. Fees vary depending on the type of animal and the event's location; at least two weeks' notice is required. The foundation is fully insured and licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation.
