With all the public nudity, shedding of hair, and rampant sex-partner swappage, it’s getting hard to tell the difference between a roomful of celebrities and a pack of wild animals (especially during  Oscar week).

Amazing Animals will give you a glimpse of the more civilized side of that divide. The wildlife ranch now offers individuals and small groups the chance to spend some quality time with the talent.

If you don’t recognize Mr. Bigglesworth (Austin Powers) or the Lubriderm alligator, perhaps Kemo (wolf star of Iron Will and White Fang), Jabari (the lion from the Whiskas commercials), or Taboo (the black leopard that co-starred with Fabio in Mr. Romance) will ring a bell.

In the weeks ahead, three new little ones are expected: a grizzly bear, a white wolf , and a white tiger. And so long as you follow the trainers’ safety rules (no open-toe shoes, and always use two hands to hold the lead when walking Sundar, the tiger cub), you’ll get to know your ocelot from your elbow and snap photos along the way.

Just no autographs, please.
