Cats hate water, right? Anyone who’s tried to bathe a house cat might think so, but fishing cats are a whole different story. These incredible wild cats are built to swim and hunt in marshes, rivers, and wetlands across Southeast Asia.
In honor of #FishingCatFebruary, we’re spotlighting Jonas, our fishing cat who can often be found lounging high on her perch in Village Hall.
Fishing cats have some seriously cool hunting skills: their partially webbed paws help them swim, and they’ll even tap the water’s surface to mimic insect ripples, luring fish closer before diving in for the catch.
Sadly, fishing cats are vulnerable to habitat loss, water pollution, and agricultural runoff in the wild. Stop by Village Hall to learn more about Jonas and how you can help protect these water-loving wild cats around the world.

Our capybaras are showing off their skills! 🐾
Guest Engagement Facilitator Rachel O. captured these behind-the-scenes moments of Roy participating in voluntary medical training, practicing injection, tactile, and scale behaviors. This kind of training helps our team provide stress-free medical care and gives guests a peek into how positive reinforcement builds trust between animals and their care teams.
