Some exotic animals have a new place to call home in Western New York.

Buffalo Animal Adventures is officially open on Transit Road.

The non-profit works to educate and promote awareness of exotic wildlife and the conservation of their natural environments. Part of that is bringing creatures around town to teach everyone from kids to seniors.

"That includes everything from birds to pigs, goats, alligators, foxes,” said Jeffrey Scharoun, the organization’s executive director. “We really dabble into a lot and all of the creepy crawlies and snakes and all that good stuff as well."

Buffalo Animal Adventures has about 175 different species of animals.
