If you have a passion for animals, conservation and people - this amazing opportunity is for you!

As the last generation to change the future of our natural world, no business can operate without contributing in one way or the other to assist in saving the most valuable thing the human race has - our very delicate eco-system.

The 7th of September is International Vulture Day and we're on a rescue mission of note!

Southern Africa is home to nine irreplaceable vulture species, of which two are endangered, 6 are critically endangered and one is already extinct.

ATTENTION: WAP (World Animal Protection)

Cango Wildlife Ranch has been in operation for over 34 years, under the current ownership, with the primary focus of premium animal care and public education. Our driving force remains our conservation efforts, research, rehabilitation and public awareness. However, based on the document released, there seems to be a grave misunderstanding of what we do and in turn, enormous and irresponsible accusations that could impact our facility, and the credible work that we do, both for our animals and in our community. The ‘report’ concerning Cango Wildlife Ranch is reckless, libellous and unfounded and it is completely outrageous that we have been lumped with performance/entertainment centres, with no credibility what-so-ever, and that it has been published as such.

WIN WIN WIN!

Never underestimate the power of a woman!

In 2011, Liz, a female Nile Crocodile still residing at Cango Wildlife Ranch, had a series of painful operations lasting eight hours to remove a Coca-Cola can from her stomach - and lives to prove that she is a survivor!

The role of an Animal Assistant is to assist in the daily tasks of the animal department. There are 3 different sections where the animal assistant will be working: Reptile Section, Mammal & Bird Section and Cat section.

World Animal Protection (WAP) this week launched a public action campaign against WAZA regarding visitor interactions in zoos and aquariums, "urging WAZA to lead the way by offering clear animal welfare guidelines... and monitor and actively work with members to ensure they do not offer cruel and demeaning shows and activities."
