Greylag Goose (and domestic hybrids) - 2 / 8. Reptiles and Amphibians (accuracy 90% - just blame unsigned turtles) Orangutan - 2 (someone mentioned a third which I did not see) Giant Anteater - 1 (they have at least two more…each no shows this visit) “Might have to review film to see if two of these birds may have been Bean Geese.”Īmerican Black Bear, Florida sub-species - 2 Wild animals observed on site are included (*) Little worn…little cribbed, but more on that (even to the benefit of the residents) in my actual review. Remember when I visit a zoo I count domestics (by breed if possible) and if there is not a plausible (if not natural) predator to prey balance…that zoo (unless it’s a specialty operation) will not rate high. On the Wednesday I should have been resting with some light walking…I hit the zoo again…with periodic rests on various benches, stumps, playground equipment and patches of dirt. Weather: 79 Time open: 9 am - 5 pm, Last Car Accepted at 4 pm Contact: 33 AlabamaSafariPark.

Fortunately my visit to Florida’s Emerald Coast was extended when I was offered a two night stay at the Gulf Breeze Hospital (4-Stars). She did not know the child personally…but a boy from her class did. My ten year old niece told me an earnest story of a child who was feeding the giraffe when the giraffe wrapped its tongue around the lettuce and inadvertently swallowed the child’s arm up to their elbow and raised its head up and then dropped the child…who fortunately landed safely on their feet. The next third feeding the Giraffes…what was left was spent riding the train and looking at the Florida Black Bears. The first visit with my nieces I’ll post some photos of…but we literally spent 2/3rds of the visit feeding and being abused by Budgerigars. I visited this zoo twice while visiting family in Navarre, Florida.
