PUDDLES the Penguin

Puddles may look cute but he’s a lean, mean, krill-hunting machine! Despite his tiny stature, his appetite is insatiable. He hunts during the majority of the day and munches on krill with no mercy. Puddles is not someone you want to mess with.

MERLIN the Frog

Meet Merlin, the cutest little froggie you’ll ever come across. He has big aspirations to someday become the most renowned wizard in the world. But first, he’ll need to finish his spelling homework. The others at the pond say the he’s got his head in the clouds but we love him for it. Dream big, Merlin!

SHELDON & NEVILLE the Capybaras

Sheldon and Neville are experts when it comes to knowing how to relax. Friendly and sociable, these twin brothers love to bask in yuzu (a round, yellowish citrus fruit) baths on the daily. “There is always good in life is you look for it,” their motto goes!
