Vinegaroons

Giant Whip Scorpion (Mastigoproctus giganteus)

One of the newest groups invertebrates to come to us in early 2021 is the very unique Giant Whip Scorpion or Vinegaroon. We have found these arachnids to be quite docile and are excited to get them out in our invert programs and Girl Scout Bug Badges.

The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer, but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again. - William Beebe, 1906

Animal Wonders

We depend on our programs & donations to help fund the care and housing for our animals, most of which are either rescues or surrenders. We seem to be always taking in new animals that need a home or different situation, their care adds up. If you would like to help support Animal Wonders, it would be greatly appreciated. We are always in need of donations, caging material, lumber, crates, aquariums, straw, & newspapers.
