Guests often ask us what can be found on their walk through the nature trail? To this we always respond there is a huge array of flora and fauna and it is well worth the trek. 🌳🍂

🐺Along our trail you may spot a pack of grey wolves, domestic geese, swans, our American black bears, barasingha deer and now our emu pair, which joined the barasingha deer for the first time this season.

🐿️If you watch closely you will notice an abundance of native wildlife, such as painted turtles basking in the swamp, chipmunks, squirrels, frogs, songbirds and maybe even a muskrat.

🍄There are also countless species of trees, flowers, fungi and mosses that can be observed along the edges of the pathway.

🧺There is even a spot to picnic in the shade with the family and calmly listen to all of the sounds of the zoo.

We want to remind guest to always stay on the path, to minimize our impact on the ecosystem and avoid plants such as poison ivy.

The bears are back! 🐻

After a long wait, to finally finish our bear habitat expansion and upgrade, we are finally wrapping up and the bears can be found exploring their new space.

Over the spring months we completely tore down and rebuilt the existing fencing, designed to exceed the current standard for housing black bears in Ontario. This included an expansion of the total acreage into our forested area to provide greater access to shade and encouraging natural behaviours, such as scent marking and foraging. In the forest they also have access to a large brush pile and separate wood chip pile that the zookeepers stock with snacks daily. Their hibernaculum was also replace and remodeled to allow for increased security and better monitoring, ensuring optimal health year round.

Back in January, Ms. Johnson from Timothy Christian School approached the zoo about a project that her class was starting, inspired by their fall field trip to our zoo in 2025. All of her students were extremely excited to pick individual animals that they had met in 2025, from kangaroos, to lions to Burmese pythons, and learn more about their physical attributes, habitats and biological roles. Then, in partnership with the zookeepers, the class spend the last 5 months, learning, preparing and presenting their projects.

Yesterday, the class attended the zoo with their grade 6 buddies and set up their display boards at each animal habitat, where they spoke to guests about all the information they have learned on their animals.

The class also hand-made reusable calendars, which they sold to their school community and zoo guests. All of their raised funds were presented to Henny Stallmann, Twin Valley Zoo’s founder and owner, to contribute to continuously enhancing our animal care.

It is moments like these where we can truly recognize the impact that our facility has on education and inspiring young minds. Thank you Ms. Johnson and Timothy Christian School students for showing your support of Twin Valley Zoo and truly delving into your projects and the experience.

Twin Valley Zoo would like to remind everyone it's the time of year when turtles go to lay their eggs, this unfortunately means it's also the time of year you will find turtles crossing roads. Please always stop and help turtles cross the road when you safely can, and remember to always take them in the direction they are facing!

📸 Photographed animal- common snapping turtles

The last snapping turtle photographed here is ambassador snapper Gonezo. Gonezo is often featured in our keeper conversations, taking place every weekend and during class field trips, where you can learn more about turtle road safety and their ecology.

Fun fact- Big cats enjoy scratching posts just as much as domestic cats 🐈🐅

The reason behind this behaviour remains the same across all feline species, which includes marking one’s territory with scent glands, maintaining good nail health and stretching/ exercising.

Amur tiger Laertes prefers his scratching post made of telephone poles, rather than your traditional sisal rope and cardboard.

Come celebrate Victoria Day, May 18th 2026, with us from 9am-6pm.

We will also have $5.00 face painting located near the play ground (10am-4pm) 🎨🖌️
