The Museum of Life and Science is home to more than 100 live animals featuring species of invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals and more than 500 butterflies! Many of the animals in our permanent collection were rescued and/or rehabilitated and can no longer survive in the wild.

Your adoption helps the Museum care for our animals and helps teach about wildlife and conservation.  See our list of adoptable animals and adopt online today!
