We spent our last day in Florida exploring the zoo. The reviews on-line were good and they didn't lie it really was a great zoo.
We started our day off watching the Fosa be fed.The animal trainer had hid food around the cage so he had to hunt it down
.
Next we got to see the cheetah's up close while they got fed, they are beautiful animals.
We attended the animal show and got see a few animals up close. I have always thought sloth were cute so it was fun to see one up close.
Watching the alligators get fed was really interesting. They actually respond to their names, who knew alligators were so smart.
To see the monkeys we had to take a "cruise" around the primate islands. It was a fun way to see the monkeys without fences.
Noah was excited to see Marty, in case you don't know that is the name of the zebra on the movie madagascar. Noah even brought Marty home with us in the form of a new stuffed animal.
This is the honey badger, they are only in 4 zoo's around country. We actually watched them run around for quiet awhile, they were so interesting.
The zoo has a temporary exhibit of camels. Mark & Noah were able to ride one. Their camels name was Joshua. I wish this picture would have been earlier in the ride, Mark said Noah had lots of fun but he had learned a camel was named Noah so he was confused at this point.
Feeding the giraffes was pretty awesome. They are such beautiful animals and I had never see one so close.
This zoo had big glass windows to watch the animals, so much better than watching them all through a chain linked fence.
Leopards
Ready to watch the snake show, up close. We learned Noah loves soft pretzels while on this trip. Also that he isn't a huge snake fan, I thought he was and I was wrong.
Upclose and personal with a tiger, the glass windows made the viewing amazing.
Black bear
The zoo was a perfect way to end our trip and we surely loved Naples, Florida. It's safe to say we all left a bit of our heart there.
