Although he may look intimidating Ringo is actually incredibly friendly and good natured and even have a reputation for licking people.  Being an animal that is evolved for both digging and climbing, he does have very sharp claws so he is not used for full handling.  Instead we encourage people to stroke him, have him on their laps, or interact with him in other ways.  Ringo has a ravenous appetite so we often do feeding demonstrations with him as well.  He can often be seen sporting a snazzy bandana and pulling the crowds in at summer fetes.
