After joining us at the Park, Scrump is not just surviving but thriving! She has quickly become a staff and volunteer favorite with her brave and curious spirit. She loves to explore, including climbing onto her keepers’ shoulders for a better view of her surroundings. And whether she’s snacking on mealworms or a juicy piece of fruit, she has an enthusiastic appetite, digging into and savouring each offering.
As our newest educational animal ambassador, Scrump will help us teach visitors about her fascinating—and often underappreciated—species. We’re excited for you to meet her and learn more about these NC-native creatures. She’s an adorable reminder that interesting wildlife doesn’t only exist on the other side of the world; it’s in our own back yard, too. Book your visit and come say hello!
Want to show Scrump some love? Consider becoming her adopter (as a Guardian of the Pride) or frequent visitor (as a Member of the Pride with unlimited Adventure Tours). Visit animalparknc.org/membership for more info. You can also donate towards her new habitat and diet. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Park and our animal residents!
