The Feature Creatures Tennessee organization began back in 2023 and has been a big hit with mobile zoo excursions into libraries, business events, nursing homes, private parties and many other venues over the last two years. Their recent activity runs about 15 venues per month. Topher and Kylie bring happiness to your venue in the form of animals, some exotic and some not. From snakes to porcupines, they bring excitement wherever they go.
Last year, Topher opened up the next phase of the Feature Creatures TN organization. The Feature Creatures Tennessee Zoo opened in October and closed in December, due to cold weather. During the last four months Topher was able to add more enclosures to his zoo adjacent to his parents farm in Athens, Tennessee. During that time, he was able to add more animals to be housed in those enclusures. One of his favories is the Capybara, which is one of the favorites in petting zoos all over. Petting zoos have become quite popular and offer a more imersive experience for families. People can enter enclosure, usually a fenced in area, though some are buildings and interact with animals and feed them.
Some of the animals include an african crested porcupine, alpaca, artic fox, babydoll sheep, highland cow, kangaroo, wallaby, muntjac deer and more.
Toper answered a couple of questions about Feature Creaturess. What are some of biggest venues to which you have taken the animals? "We have been to Amazon Corporate events, large church events, large school assemblies"
What are some of the animals that people like the most? "People really enjoy the wallaby and the kangaroo, the parrott, python, hedgehog and porcupine."
