We spent Saturday at Zoo Miami adjacent to our RV park, Larry and Penny Thompson Park. Zoo Miami has grown over the years and the loop is three miles around. We decided to rent a four wheel Safari Cycle which would offer sun/rain protection and give us a place to store our stuff.
The highlight of the day was seeing Irene feed a giraffe (click to play video).
The chimps and gorillas were also quite entertaining. The primates liked to swing along the rope between trees.
And of course, the king of the jungle looked down on everyone from his “throne”!
But we thought the strangest looking creature was the okapi, native to a rain forest in the Congo. While its legs look like a zebra’s, it is most closely related to the giraffe. How do you like those “socks”?
