Animal Ark "A Sanctuary for Life"

	Whoopi Common Name: Peregrine Falcon Scientific Name: Falco peregrinus Gender: Female Birth Date: 1992 History: In April 1993, this one year old falcon joined the Animal Ark family. She is a captive born bird and was raised by a local falconer. Unfortunately, she became blind in the left eye due to a cataract. The cause of this cataract remains a mystery but it has rendered Whoopi unable to live a normal life as a falconry bird or to be released into the wild. The falcon was donated to the Animal Ark and regularly participates in our educational programs.
