The schedule for animal activities includes a variety of species. It begins with the Tanuki at 9:15 a.m., followed by the Dwarf Mongoose and Meerkats at 10 a.m. The Elk will take the stage at 10:45 a.m., and the Stingrays will have their turn at 11:30 a.m. After a break at noon, the Squirrel and Spider Monkeys will be featured at 12:30 p.m., followed by the Galapagos Tortoises at 1:15 p.m. The event will conclude with the Asian Elephants demonstrating their pumpkin-eating skills at 2 p.m.
