To name a few they have a Bobcat,Fruit bats,Kinkajous, a Dragon Moral Eel,Burrowing Owls, Meerkats, Rajeev, the Burmese Python the Museums largest animal and North American river otters. The River Otters are hands-down a favorite for visitors as well as staff. The three otters are brothers who were born at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The three young Otters arrived at the Museum in May 2011.Many of the animals at the Discovery Zoo have been injured in the wild and would be unable to survive on their own.
