Facts about our Animal Species
The Lazy 5 Ranch is now the home to over 750 animals from 6 different continents. We own and care for birds, domestic farm animals and exotic species. We are committed to the preservation and recovery of several endangered species such as the Grevy Zebra, Scimitar Horned Oryx and Ring-tailed Lemur.
Birds & Ducks
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterized by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the 2 in bee hummingbird to the 9 ft ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species of birds.
Cattle
Cattle are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos taurus. Around 10,500 years ago, cattle were domesticated from as few as 80 progenitors in central Anatolia, the Levant and Western Iran. According to an estimate from 2011, there are 1.4 billion cattle in the world.
Deer & Elk
Deer are the hoofed ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups of deer are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the elk, the fallow deer, and the chital; and the Capreolinae, including the reindeer (caribou), the roe deer, and the moose.
Antelope
The term antelope is used to refer to many species of even-toed ruminant indigenous to various regions in Africa and Eurasia. Like cattle, antelopes are part of the family Bovidae, encompassing all Old World ruminants that are not bovines, sheep, or goats. Antelopes are closely related to deer.
Ratites (Birds)
A ratite is any of a diverse group of flightless and mostly large and long-legged birds of the infraclass Palaeognathae.
Sheep & Goats
The name sheep applies to many species in the genus Ovis. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. The goat is closely related to the sheep. Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species of animal, and have been used for milk, meat, fur and skins across much of the world.
