Every time we show Nyah, our young African serval, this month, you get a fun fact! 🐾🧡

Fun Fact: Servals have the longest legs of any cat relative to their body size! Their long legs and oversized ears make them incredible hunters, helping them hear prey moving through tall grass and leap up to 10 feet into the air to catch birds. 🌾🦗🐱

Stay tuned all month long for more Nyah fun facts! ✨🐾

June 5–7, 2026 | Cub Scout Troop 444 at Parkton Animal Oasis

What an incredible weekend it was having Cub Scout Troop 444 here at Parkton Animal Oasis! They came to support their leader, Scott Bartholomew, as he worked toward earning his Eagle Scout rank by building our beautiful new peafowl enclosure.
From the moment they arrived, it felt like welcoming old friends. They camped under the stars, roasted s’mores around the fire, celebrated a birthday together, shared countless laughs, and made memories with both each other and our animals. They met so many of our exotic and farm animals, worked incredibly hard on the enclosure, and filled the oasis with kindness, excitement, and joy.
Their willingness to jump in, lend a hand, and embrace everything this experience had to offer meant more to us than words can say. We opened our hearts and our home to them, and they did the same in return.

The truth is, it’s a little quieter around here now, and we genuinely miss having them. Thank you, Troop 444, for your hard work, your enthusiasm, and the wonderful memories you gave us. We already can’t wait to welcome you back to Parkton Animal Oasis and do it all over again. ⛺️🐾
