Item Description
Go nose-to-snout with one of the Amazon’s most fascinating creatures during this exclusive "walk and talk" experience at Roger Williams Park Zoo!
This unforgettable encounter for you and a guest brings you up close with Salvador, one of our most curious and captivating tamanduas.
You’ll also enjoy a special “walk and talk” alongside Sal and his dedicated keeper, Mel. You'll stroll with Sal on Zoo grounds*, while Mel shares what it’s like to care for these fascinating, tree-dwelling anteaters! She'll offer insight into the personalities of our tamanduas, their natural behaviors, and the important conservation work being done to protect their wild counterparts.
Whether you’re a rainforest enthusiast or an animal lover looking for something truly unique, this is a rare opportunity to connect with both the animals and the expert who knows them best.
