Transplants

We frequently receive animals transferred from other institutions. These animals were all born in captivity, and reside at The Creature Conservancy as animal ambassadors actively working to educate the local community about topics of biology, ecology, and conservation.

Harper

Harper was born at a zoo in North Carolina, and transferred to the Columbus Zoo soon after her birth. However, the cougars Lewis & Clark were orphaned by wildfires in Montana almost immediately afterward, and in order to provide them with a permanent home at Columbus, Harper was placed at The Creature Conservancy. 

Lady Gaga

Our African Crested Porcupine was born at another regional facility and transferred to The Creature Conservancy for use in educational programs.

Scooter

Scooter came to us from the Columbus Zoo to join our team of animal ambassadors.
