Bike Tour to the Zoo

We took another bike tour on Thursday, this time to see a tiny zoo at a nearby resort.

We saw this cute turtle climbing out of the water next to the zoo -

The variety of animals at the zoo was interesting. First, this crocodile (and it was a little crazy to me how a child could stick his/her fingers in the cage pretty easily…)

Next – Panchita the jaguar.

Here’s Ben with Katy, our fun bike tour guide from the hotel, greeting Panchita. More pics on Panchita in a second.

There were beautiful peacocks -

White-tailed deer -

But back to Panchita. She was the most lovable wild animal I have ever seen. Here she is, sniffing Katy’s hand.

Licking her fingers!

Here are some mountain lions/pumas -

Friendly goats -

But more on Panchita. I couldn’t get enough of her sweetness.

Here she’s licking my hand -

And one of the major animals on display – the tigers…
