Appointment Only Wildlife Park
Experience the ultimate wildlife adventure, where every path leads to a new discovery! We specialize in bringing you up close and personal with animals that are often feared, but always misunderstood. From the crushing power of an apex predator’s jaw to the silent, golden eyes of a nocturnal hunter. Scales Tails and Teeth Wildlife Park isn’t your typical crowded zoo. We are private wildlife park dedicated to intimate, educational encounters between humans and our resident animals. By operating on an appointment-only basis, we ensure a peaceful environment for our animals and a VIP, crowd-free experience for you.
Why Visit Scales Tails and Teeth Wildlife Park?
We don’t just display animals; we share their stories. At Scales Tails and Teeth Wildlife Park we believe in quality over quantity and strive to give our full time residents the best home possible. When you book your appointment you are helping support our mission!
The Crew
Heather Daly / Jimmy Riffle
Owner / Operator
Jimmy started his career volunteering/working with animals at The Native Village in Hollywood, FL.
From the age of 11, he was trained by Mike “Skeet” Johns to respect and appreciate all wildlife.
Jimmy later went on to star in Animal Planet’s hit tv show “Gator Boys”. Scales Tails and Teeth was started by Jimmy in the hopes that he could share his love an appreciation of wildlife to people (children and adults) all over the country.
Jimmy and Heather travel Florida and the country educating the public, but he was able to fulfill a lifelong dream with Heather by his side to open a educational wildlife park in Marion County, Florida.
