Granny's gone and done it again

Just a yearly membership. It's expired by now.


The previous owner did a lot of work at the zoo and loved it very much. He died unexpectedly a few years ago and is believed to have stuck around. They have a nice statue of him now in the festival plaza.

Thats cool, I would like to walk that some day.

Quote: I take it back... that's a pretty big zoo. Although no elephants... I would have been bumming with Bubba. Could watch them all day.

I think they've really maximized their space. Louisiana exhibit is multi-level. No apes, no elephants, rhinos, or giraffes. They have lots of reptiles: snakes, turtles, crocs, gators, caimans. Lots of fish (we didn't see today). Lots of "native" birds, then parrots and raptors. There is a raccoon exhibit.

They have cougars, bobcats, tigers, African lions, and smaller servals, ocelots, etc. Regular zoo stuff.
The big cats don't require as much space as you'd think. They did a study on tigers in India, fed them in the same spot regularly over many months. They stopped ranging over their territories and stayed very close to the spot where the goats were delivered (poor goats). Tigers were content to hang out as long as they weren't hungry. Good for a smaller zoo.

That's why! Cats don't like eye contact, and cat people tend to stare at cats. Non-cat people avoid eye contact, because in people that would be rude. But cats find it inviting.
