Virtual Jamaica: The Zoo

 We are spending the last day in St. Elizabeth Parish at the local zoo.

Started by the son of a veterinarian it is still tiny (...think those roadside attraction zoos of the 1960s and 70's...) but slowly expanding...every time they have enough money to obtain a new animal.

Their centerpiece is several lions...one, of which, recently ate a handler's finger while he was teasing him...live...on camera...the man lost his finger and his job.

They have an interactive show, and a petting area with horses, a cow, goats, a donkey you can ride.

 

The show has pythons, young crocodiles, parrots and more...and is informative and fun.

 There are also monkeys, zebra, llamas, crocodiles, peacocks, a camel and the lions.

 

All in all...a nice way to end a great parish!

Found this yesterday at Jake's.

Which is patois for "Hello'!

Next week, we'll head to Westmoreland.
