The keepers reveal the naughty and nice list

December 20, 2019

As the holidays near, the Happy Hollow keepers are helping Santa double-check his “naughty and nice list” by updating his elves on all of the animals.

Many of them were good and made the nice list this year.


Nice:

– Chloe the dwarf zebu, for minding her manners and chewing with her mouth closed.

– Peaches the Chilean rose tarantula for being a gentle ambassador for her species and helping people overcome their fear of spiders.

– Will Smith and Xena, the red pandas for eating their greens (and being amazing after Xena settled in to her new habitat!)

– Vintana and Nify, the black-and-white ruffed lemurs for helping with each other’s grooming.

– The guinea pigs for eating their veggies.

– Bayou the American alligator, for working well with his keepers to assist with his own care.

– Wogle and Makiki, the Parma wallabies, for being a great mom and dad.

For others…well, there’s always next year!

Naughty:

– Solomon the eclectus parrot, for screeching when people exit the room.

– Misti the capuchin monkey, for throwing her food on the ground.

– The meerkat mob for arguing over their burrows.

– Rooster the scarlet macaw, for his questionable dance moves.

– Sophia the jaguar, for opening her presents early.

Just remember everyone: eat your greens, mind your manners and have a safe and happy holiday season.
