Animal Ambassadors
39 Animal Ambassadress live at the Earth Rangers’ Centre and are taken care of by a trained animal care team who maintain a state-of-the-art facility that surpasses Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums(CAZA) and Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) standards. These Animal Ambassadors along with their trainers and care takers are integral members of the Earth Rangers team. They are a critical part of Earth Rangers’ presentations in schools, at the Royal Ontario Museum and in the community as they connect audiences with the crisis facing our natural world. Animal Ambassadors include Sammy the Serval, Koho the Bald Eagle, Cosmo the Ring-Tailed Lemur, Timber the Pine-Martin, Dora the Tegu, Shelly the Midland Painted Turtle, Shriek the Red Tailed Hawk, Floyd the Ball Python, Yeti the Snow Owl, Sonic the Barn Owl and Fantom the Pine Snake.

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or ambassadors:
“The hounding of a dog pursuing a fox or other animal in the horizon may have first suggested the notes of the hunting-horn to alternate with and relieve the lungs of the dog. This natural bugle long resounded in the woods of the ancient world before the horn was invented.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Designs in connection with postage stamps and coinage may be described, I think, as the silent ambassadors on national taste.”
