Our Animals
At Bugtopia The Zoo we have aimed to bring you a range of exhibits starting with our namesake Bugs! From worms and ants to scorpions and other interesting invertebrates right up to big mouths with lots of teeth!
Over 90% of the animals housed at Bugtopia The Zoo are rehomed either from the pet industry, stow-aways in luggage or from other zoo's.
There are over 75 different species of animals at Bugtopia The Zoo and the number is constantly getting larger.
Below is a gallery of just a few of our species that reside at the zoo
Meerkats
Meerkats are a beautiful example of a Matriarchal social group, with lookouts, foragers, and babysitters.

Large Hairy Armadillo
Uses specially evolved membranes in its nose to obtain oxygen from the surrounding soil particles without inhaling any of the soil itself.

Raccoon Dog
Named for it's resemblance to a Raccoon, to which it is not closely related. Often found near water, Raccoon Dogs will modify their diets seasonally.

Civets are not cats, they are viverrids, and are related to the genet, the binturong and the fossa.
Civets do offer humans a few rather odd marketable products.....
