Adopt A Pig - Inca

INCA'S STORY

Inca is a parti-colored Abyssinian guinea pig.  He was whelped in 2007 and came to us as a very young pup.  He has become a real favorite with staff and visitors alike--especially the little ones.

Inca spends most of his days greeting visitors to our Nature Center.  When he is not in his enclosure it's a safe bet to assume that he's traveling with our Education Department staff to one of the many schools, preschools, or other children's groups that he visits each year as part of our Fur, Feather & Scales, or Care For Critters programs.

Inca is a very important part of our education team.  He gives the children the opportunity to touch one of our animals, and helps us to explain the differences between mammals, birds, and reptiles.  He also helps us to explain to the children which animals make good pets and why some others don't.
