Animal Ambassador Sponsorship

Click to meet our INVERTEBRATES.

Your annual animal sponsorship helps provide daily care, enrichment, and habitat support for the animals who call our museum home. Sponsorships make a meaningful difference all year long—and create a special connection between you and your sponsored animal. Sponsorships can be made directly or given as a gift to an animal lover in your life.

Hawkeye

Hawkeye is a hopeless romantic. The object of his affection is a wild female red-tailed hawk, whom he calls to and offers to share his rat with. He even builds a nest for her each year to show how good of a provider he can be.

Raymond

Raymond is a special owl that just can’t figure out how life works sometimes. But his greatest guilty pleasure is eating dinner in bed.

Scarlett

Screech owls are known for intense glares that can rival your mother’s, and Scarlett is no exception. She intensely judges all of your life choices.

Abby

Although Abby may be de-scented, that doesn’t stop her from trying sometimes! But most of the time, Abby just wants to lounge in her cat bed.

Maple

Named for her red eyes that are like the red maple tree in the fall, Maple the rat is definitely the most outgoing of our two rat sisters. Just don’t stick your fingers in her home or she may think your finger is a treat!

Pear

Pear is a people rabbit that demands all the pets all the time. Her favorite activity is “bunny recess” when she is allowed to run around one of the rooms in the museum and do flips and zoomies!

Willow

Willow prefers to stay out of the spotlight and instead spends her days cozy in her hammock. But that doesn’t mean she’ll let her sister be first to the food bowl and steal all the seeds!

Gonzo

The shyest of our turtles and tortoise, Gonzo spends a lot of her time hiding under a log or dug deep down in the dirt. But she’ll always come out for a worm!

Nugget

Nugget is probably the most opinionated animal at Briar Bush. If her roommates are in her favorite spot, she’ll let them know by ramming them with her shell!

Gene

Gene Simmons may not have had a blue tongue, but that didn’t stop us from paying tribute when naming Gene the blue-tongued skink. They love a tight cozy spot and is a firm believer of “if I fits, I sits.”

Sherlock

Sherlock once escaped his tank at his original home and was found days later, casually curled up in a shoebox next to his tank. There’s a reason this curious snake was named after a detective!
