The museum is home to over 100 live animals, many of them native to California. Most of the animals have been re-homed at the museum from rehabilitation facilities as they are not able to survive in their natural habitat. Visitors are able to view some of the animals in the museum’s wildlife exhibits, while others are presented in classes and tours.
