Live Animal Exhibit
Inside the Animal Exhibit, you will encounter over 100 animals that make their
home in our Museum because they can no longer survive in the wild. Some are
injured so they cannot hunt for food or protect themselves from predators.
Others were born in captivity or kept as pets so they never learned how to live
in the wild.
These animals help us learn about and appreciate
California's diverse and disappearing wildlife. Over one hundred and fifty years
ago, much of the Bay Area was wild, providing lots of habitat, or homes for wild
animals. Today, there are more people, less open space, and fewer plants and
animals. We can help animals in the wild by preserving their remaining habitats.
At this web site, we give you a glimpse at just a few of the amazing critters we
house at the Randall Museum. We will feature many different animals in the
future, so make sure you come back and visit. Even better, drop by in person to
the Animal Exhibit at 199 Museum Way!
For information about volunteering with the animals at the Randall Museum, see
