Meet some of our beautiful captive-born side-strip Meet some of our beautiful captive-born side-striped jackals (Lupulella adusta).
Unlike their better known black backed cousins, side striped jackals prefer wetter, more densely vegetated habitats such as woodland, bushland, grassland and marshes, making Uganda excellent natural habitat for the species.
They are also remarkably adaptable omnivores. Alongside insects, rodents and other small animals, wild fruits can form a surprisingly important part of their diet. One study in Zimbabwe found that roughly a third of their diet consisted of fruit.
Side striped jackals usually live alone, in pairs or small family groups, and breeding pairs form strong, often long lasting monogamous bonds. They are also highly vocal, one of their characteristic calls is described as an unusual owl-like hoot rather than the classic jackal howl.
Small, intelligent, adaptable and often overlooked,  one of Africa's most fascinating little predators. ❤️🐾

Meet four of Africa's most misunderstood carnivore Meet four of Africa's most misunderstood carnivores.

Our striped hyena family consists of one individual from Germany 🇩🇪 and three from Benin 🇧🇯. In Uganda, striped hyenas are now considered critically endangered, with only a tiny population remaining, mainly in the Karamoja region.

Often feared and unfairly blamed for livestock losses, they are frequently poisoned by cattle keepers. In reality, striped hyenas are nature's clean-up crew, feeding largely on carrion and helping to prevent the spread of disease by removing carcasses from the environment.

Unlike their larger spotted cousins, striped hyenas are generally shy, elusive and prefer to avoid conflict with both people and predators.

At CTC Conservation Center, we hope that by allowing people to see these remarkable animals up close, we can replace fear with understanding and inspire greater appreciation for one of Uganda's most overlooked species. 🖤🐾

The unmistakable call of the Red Ruffed Lemur (Var The unmistakable call of the Red Ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra)! ❤️🖤
These loud, far-carrying vocalisations are one of the defining characteristics of this remarkable species. In the wild, Red Ruffed Lemurs use these calls to communicate with other family members, defend their territory, maintain contact through Madagascar's dense rainforest, and alert one another to potential predators.
Unlike many other primates, Red Ruffed Lemurs rely heavily on vocal communication, and their calls can carry over surprisingly long distances through the forest canopy.
Sadly, this beautiful species is Critically Endangered, with wild populations continuing to decline due to habitat loss and hunting in their only natural home, the rainforests of the Masoala Peninsula in north-eastern Madagascar.
CTC Conservation Center is proud to be the only public wildlife facility on mainland Africa where visitors can observe Red Ruffed Lemurs, giving guests a unique opportunity to learn about one of the world's rarest primates while raising awareness for its conservation.
Every species has a story worth protecting, and sometimes, that story begins with a call echoing through the forest. 🌿🐒

Happy International Snake Day! Pictured are a few Happy International Snake Day!
Pictured are a few of the venomous snakes successfully captive bred at CTC during this breeding season.
CTC is proud to be among the very few facilities in East Africa to have established large scale captive breeding of venomous snake species. We are also developing an integrated antivenom programme that extends beyond venom extraction. Our long term vision includes dedicated equine facilities and laboratory infrastructure to produce both monovalent and polyvalent antivenoms to help improve the regional availability of life saving snakebite treatment.
