Mort is our curious and playful coatimundi, one of the most entertaining members of Circle D Funny Farm. Coatimundis, often referred to as coatis, belong to the raccoon family and are native to Central and South America. These highly social, intelligent animals are known for their long, ringed tails, sharp claws, and inquisitive nature. In the wild, coatis live in groups known as bands and spend much of their time foraging for fruits, insects, and small animals. At our family farm, Mort brings that same curiosity and energy, providing guests with memorable exotic animal encounters. Through these experiences with Mort, we aim to promote animal education, emphasizing wildlife behavior, animal care, and the importance of respecting exotic animals while ensuring safe and positive interactions.

Bella-Roo is our youngest red kangaroo, and we had the privilege of bottle-raising her alongside our other female kangaroo, Barbie. Female kangaroos, known as does or flyers, are recognized for their strong maternal instincts and unique reproductive biology. Like all kangaroos, they have a pouch, called a marsupium, where they carry and nurse their joeys until they're ready to explore the world outside. Female red kangaroos are generally smaller than males but are incredibly agile and powerful, capable of hopping long distances to travel or escape danger. Caring for Bella-Roo and Barbie has allowed us to engage in animal education, providing guests with hands-on exotic animal encounters while highlighting the gentle, nurturing side of female kangaroos. These experiences not only teach visitors about kangaroo behavior and biology but also emphasize the importance of responsible animal care on our family farm.

Speedy is our 25-year-old sulcata tortoise, a remarkable and long-lived species that ranks among the largest tortoises native to Africa. Also known as the African spurred tortoise, sulcatas can grow exceptionally large—sometimes exceeding 100 pounds—and are characterized by their sturdy, domed shells and powerful, spurred legs which enable them to dig burrows. As herbivores, they primarily feed on grasses and leafy plants, thriving in hot, dry climates. Despite their sizable appearance, sulcata tortoises are gentle and slow-moving creatures, making them a favorite for exotic animal encounters and educational programs. At 25 years old, Speedy has been a cherished member of our family farm, providing guests with the opportunity to closely observe the unique behaviors and characteristics of tortoises while learning about animal education, reptile care, and the diversity of God’s creation.
