  • Visit to The Tayto factory
  • Tayto Park has over 50 different types of animals, find out interesting facts about the animals including where the live, what treats they have for lunch and what our Park Ranger says about each one.

Where you might find me:
All over North America! 

About me:
I am easily recognizable by my mask and ringed tail and am sometimes known as the “masked bandit”. The black around my eyes helps me see at night. My bushy tail is used to store fat during the winter and to help me balance when climbing. I have very dextrous front paws and can open jars, doors, and even complex locks, so keep an eye on me! 

And for lunch I will have the…
Insects, worms, fruit, nuts, and sometimes fish or small birds.
