Today we woke up and went to the zoo. We saw a lot of really interesting animals there. There were a lot of different species and it looked a lot like a jungle. The reason why you don't see the variety of animals you might see at other zoos, is that the animals seen
in these pictures are only from the local area.


There was even a part where they had some crocodiles and some turtles and every 8 days the crocodile would eat one because his digestive system was very slow. That was very depressing to me.

There was a jaguar with a 6 month-old baby and a panther (a black jaguar).










There are also these really cute pigs (actually javelinas) and they would scurry across the path every couple of minutes. The ones on the left are bigger versions which they don't let roam freely.





There was also a really big tapir, a big cross kind of thingy that looks like a horse, an elephant and a pig all at once -- but actually it is really cute.





We also saw an anteater that kept trying to suck up ants. That was pretty cute, too.





Here is a pretty cool picture of a snake that Wilhelmina took.




After having a marvelous time at the zoo we drove back to San Cristobal and watched 7 Years in Tibet and ate cookies.

  1. Great pictures! I'm glad you got to see the javalinas. We see them on our street sometimes. The big ones eat small dogs and, of course, I find that even sadder than the fate of the turtles!
