			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Safari’s baby capybara were born on February 21<sup>st</sup> 2010.</h5>
<p><P><strong>What is a capybara?</strong><br/><a href="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cappy__03_12_10-007.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-848" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0px 5px;" title="Capybara" src="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cappy__03_12_10-007-300x199.jpg" alt="Capybara" width="300" height="199" /></a>Our latin name is <em>Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris</em> which means water hog. Capybara means master of the grasses in the Guarani language. Our closest relatives are the chinchilla, agouti and guinea pig.   You can recognize us by our size &#8211; we are the world’s largest rodent -reddish brown fur, slightly webbed feet and no tail.<br />
</P><br />
<P><strong>Where do we come from?</strong><br/>We were bred here in Dickinson, Texas but in the wild capybara live in South America. We are semi-aquatic and prefer grassy or forest areas with access to water. All capybara are excellent swimmers and can stay underwater for 5 minutes. We like to cool off in shallow pools when the weather is hot.<br />
</P><br />
<P><strong>How big do we grow?</strong><br/>When fully grown we can weigh as much as 100lbs, we grow to 20 inches tall and 4 feet long. We are fully mature at 22 months old. In captivity capybara can live for up to 12 years but in the wild we average about 4 years because we have many predators including jaguars, pumas and anacondas.</P><br />
<P><strong>What do we eat?</strong><br/><a href="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cappy__03_12_10-008.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-849" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0px 5px;" title="Capybara" src="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cappy__03_12_10-008-300x199.jpg" alt="Capybara" width="300" height="199" /></a>We are herbivores and graze mainly on grasses and water plats as well as fruit and tree bark. A fully grown adult can eat 6 to 8 pounds of grasses per day.<br />
</P><br />
<P><strong>Do capybara make good pets?</strong><br/> Yes, Capybara are gentle creatures and are happy to be petted and hand fed. We are social creatures and enjoy company. We can be trained to walk on a harness and are very loving. We communicate with a combination of purrs, barks, whistles, clicks, squeaks and grunts. If you wanted to keep one as a pet you would need a grazing area and access to a shallow pool.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Rambo was born on April 28 2009, in Dickinson Texas.</h4>
<p><P> <strong>What is a ring tailed lemur?</strong><br/><a href="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cappy__03_12_10-0061.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-838" title="Ring Tail Lemur" src="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cappy__03_12_10-0061-300x199.jpg" alt="Ring Tail Lemur" width="300" height="199" /></a>Our Latin name is <em>Lemur catta.</em> We are the most easily recognized of all primates because of our black and white ringed tail.  We have 13 to 15 back and white rings and the tail always ends with a black ring.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Where do we come from?</strong><br/>All Lemurs originated on the island of Madagascar, off the coast of East  Africa.  There we live in the forests along the river banks, in deciduous forest and in scrub land. We are not endangered but our habitats are being replaced by farmland.
</p>
<p>
<strong>How big do we grow?</strong><br />We mature at around 2.5 years of age and when fully grown we weigh between 5 and 7.7lbs and our body length is 15 to 18 inches, not including our tail.<br />
</P></p>
<p><strong>How long to lemurs live?</strong><br/>In the wild we 16 to 19 years but have been known to live as long as 27 years in captivity.<br />
</P></p>
<p>
<strong>What do we eat?</strong><br/>Lemurs are omnivorous and can eat both plants and animals. We love tamarinds but will eat a variety of plants, flowers, bark and sap. We will also eat spiders, caterpillars, cicadas, grasshoppers, small birds and chameleons.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Do lemurs make good pets?</strong><br/>Although not considered as smart as monkeys or apes lemurs are capable of learning complex tasks and appear to be capable of simple arithmetic. Lemurs are rarely kept as pets because trade in wild-caught lemurs is illegal. Lemurs breed well in captivity and more than 2000 exist in zoos worldwide. We need an enclosure with places to climb and hide and lots of toys to keep us active. As you can see from the picture I will walk on a harness.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_828" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 1034px"><img src="http://safarivet.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_3002.JPG" alt="Sugar Bear" title="IMG_3002" width="1024" height="683" class="size-full wp-image-828" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sugar Bear</p></div><strong>What is a Coatimundi?</strong><br />
Coatimundi are members of the raccoon family. We are also know as also known as Brazilian aardvarks, Mexican tejón, hog-nosed coons, pizotes, and snookum bears. I am a cross between a white nosed coati and a red coati.</p>
<p><strong>Where did I come from?</strong><br />
I was born in captivity but Coatis are natives of South and Central America and can occasionally be in the south western states of the USA. We can live just about anywhere and can be found in the rainforest, in the mountains or in the grasslands.</p>
<p><strong>How big do I grow?</strong><br />
When fully grown I will be as big as a large housecat. On average Coatis  are about 12inches tall at the shoulder, up to 27 inches long and weigh between 6.6 and 18lbs. I have a long flexible snout and a keen sense of smell for sniffing out snacks and a long tail that is used for balance. When Coati travel in packs, we hold our tails up so we can see each other in long grass.</p>
<p><strong>What do I eat?</strong><br />
I am an omnivore, which means I eat both plants and animals. In the wild coati eat fruit, nuts and plants as well as eggs, insects and small mammals. I will eat almost anything you do. My favorite foods are apples, grapes and dog food. We are very polite dinner guests and eat our food with our paws, not with our nose in  a bowl like a dog or a cat.</p>
<p><strong>How long will I live?</strong><br />
In the wild about 7 years but we can live up to 15 years in captivity. I am six months old, I am litter trained.</p>
<p><strong>Do Coatis need vaccines?</strong><br />
Yes, I have already had rabies vaccine plus cat and dog distemper vaccines. I have been dewormed also need regular heartworm prevention. I also have a microchip to prevent me from getting lost.</p>
<p><strong>Do Coatis make good pets?</strong><br />
I am litter trained and used to living indoors. Coati are very intelligent and inquisitive so you need child locks on your cupboards if you want to keep me out. We like to climb and play so an outdoor run is ideal as long as there is somewhere warm to hide in cold weather. Unlike raccoons we are active during the day and sleep during the night. We like to sleep in trees or raised nesting platforms.</p>
<p><strong>How do Coati communicate?</strong><br />
You can tell our moods by the different chirping, snorting, or grunting sounds we make. We also use posture to convey simple messages; for example, hiding my nose between my front paws is a sign for submission.<br />
