Our Animals
Two-Toed Sloth
Two-Toed Sloth
This upside-down South American critter is Ambien. Although Two-toed sloths are primarily nocturnal, Ambien has adapted to coming out during the day to greet the guests and eat her favorite treat. Can you guess what treat that is? Come visit Ambien to find out and learn more about her kind.
African Crested Porcupine
Hystrix Cristata
This adorable rodent is Thorn. She loves to eat corn and hang out in the sun on her custom porcupine deck. Do you think she can shoot her quills? Come visit Thorn to find out.
Bactrian Camels
Camelus Bactrianus
Camel Safari is home to several of these amazing animals. Bactrian camels are native to central Asia. An easy way to tell if a camel is a Bactrian Camel is to count the number of humps on it's back. If it has two humps, like a 'B', then you know you are looking at a Bactrian camel! Pictured is Belle.
Dromedary Camel
Camelus Dromedarius
Camel Safari has more Dromedary camels than any other species on the property! These desert-dwelling camelids have one hump on their back. Do you know what that hump is composed of or why the camel has a hump? Visit our camels at Camel Safari to find out! Pictured is Charlie.
Sand Cats
Felis Margarita
Sand cats "Ari" and "Nala" are siblings who enjoy relaxing on the rocky outcroppings in their large outdoor enclosure watching the camel riders as they go by. Sand cats are small wild cats native to Africa's Sahara desert, throughout the Arabian peninsula; and in parts of Central Asia. They are prolific diggers and live primarily in burrows in the wild to escape the heat during the day and are active at night. Ari and Nala enjoy their own building and indoor space to come into to escape our Mojave desert elements. Can you guess what these ferocious cats hunt and eat in the wild? Visit Ari and Nala to find out!
New Guinea Singing Dogs
Canis Hallstromi
In March of 2021 Camel Safari added New Guinea Singing Dogs, "Lyric" and "Hymn" to the pack! New Guinea Singing Dogs are native to the New Guinea Highlands and are closely related to the Australian Dingo. These are rare animals with only 200-300 individuals believed to be remaining. New Guinea Singing Dogs are named for their harmonic howls that guests can experience during their Camel Safari visit at our Las Vegas wildlife park!
Alpaca
Vicugna Pacos
Camel Safari is home to eight alpaca! Alpaca are a domesticated species descended from another South American Camelid, the vicuña. Our alpacas Polarus, Pixie, Blaster, Jim Jim, Preston, Miles, Morticia and Bell enjoy meeting new guests, especially when they have a feeding cup full of goodies to feed them! Visit Camel Safari to see these small camelids side-by-side with the camels to see the similarities and differences.
Llama
Llama Glama
Camel Safari is home to one male llama, Shae. Shae has a lot of personality and is often one of the guest's favorite exotic animals in Las Vegas! Llama's, like Shae, are a domesticated species descended from the wild guanaco. Like Bactrian camels, dromedary camels, alpacas and vicunas; guanacos and llamas are camelids! Are you curious where in the world the camelids originated? Visit Camel Safari and find out on your tour! Pictured is Shae the llama in front with his alpaca buddies behind him.
Zebra
Vicugna Pacos
Camel Safari is home to Zoolu the Chapman's zebra (E. quagga chapmani) and Eyeore the Zedonk. Did you know that the pattern of stripes differs from zebra to zebra, making each of the animals as unique as snowflakes? Learn amazing zebra fun facts while viewing Zoolu the zebra on any of our tours! Eyore the zedonk is a cross between a zebra and a donkey making her a zebroid. A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid.
