I think it was more of a farm than a zoo - however they had some of the big animals too. Here's a quick rundown:
- Black bear
- Tiger
- Various fast small cats.
- Giraffe
- Zebras.
- Donkeys
- Over half a dozen peacocks which roamed freely on top of cages and all over the "zoo"
- bison
- Cool chickens that look like they have wigs of hair. I didn't take a picture of it and can't even find a picture on google images! But they look like those chickens in cartoons/storybooks that have this huge mop of colored hair and you can't even see their eyes. SO funny!
- One smallish monkey
- An owl
- Lots of bamboo
- Some kind of small deer
- Cattle (somehow this made the zoo??)
- Llamas
- Camel
- Vocal turkeys
So seriously - it was built like a farm. With wire and wood and the paths were kind of muddy. But they had such a good variety of animals. I'm not sure they were in the best pens available and I'm sure PETA would have a field day at this zoo, but for how small it was, it sure did have a lot to look at and smell.
Some pictures from my phone:
Feeding the donkey with hay:
Michael has been dying to see a giraffe for months. Here he is with Ashton:
Ryan, Ashton's brother, gets in the picture too. Both Ryan and the giraffe did not cooperate:
It was hot. And by hot, I mean in the upper 70's and lower 80's! We packed a picnic and they had a great picnic area/park. The boys had a great time taking a bite of lunch and running to climb up something! Tami and I had a good time chatting it up!
It was a great way to spend a Monday out!
