From anteaters to Arctic foxes, the farm is home to animals from around the world.

White buffalo, considered sacred by American Indians,  roam the farm’s grasslands, where prairie dogs also whoop and frolic. Several camels aren’t far off.

Meet Topanga the Hyena

Topanga’s big, toothy grin seems like a genuine reaction when DeWayne Connolly approaches her cage. The hand-raised hyena is comfortable around most people and has even been on the David Letterman show with well-known animal handler Jack Hanna, whom DeWayne Connolly has worked with many times.
